Given a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$, we explore the relation between couplings of the free Dirac operator $-i\alpha\cdot\nabla+m\beta$ with pure electrostatic shell potentials $\lambda\delta_{\partial\Omega}$…

The Dirac operator with MIT bag boundary condition in a bounded convex domain is shown to be always self-adjoint in the $H^1$-setting. This allows one to show that such operators appear as limit of Dirac operators with large positive mass…

We report a unified theory based on linear response, for analyzing the longitudinal optical conductivity (LOC) of materials with tilted Dirac cones. Depending on the tilt parameter $t$, the Dirac electrons have four phases: untilted,…

Topological Dirac semimetals are a class of semimetals that host symmetry-protected Dirac points near the Fermi level, which arise due to a band inversion of the conduction and valence bands. In this work, we study the less explored class…

Let $G$ be a non-compact connected semisimple real Lie group with finite center. Suppose $L$ is a non-compact connected closed subgroup of $G$ acting transitively on a symmetric space $G/H$ such that $L\cap H$ is compact. We study the…

Three-dimensional topological semimetals can support band crossings along one-dimensional curves in the momentum space (nodal lines or Dirac lines) protected by structural symmetries and topology. We consider rhombohedrally (ABC) stacked…

Slowly varying nonuniform strains of non-magnetic wave propagating media with honeycomb symmetry induce an effective- or pseudo-magnetic field, a phenomenon observed first in graphene, and later in photonic crystals and other physical…

This paper provides a pedagogical introduction to recent developments in geometrical and topological band theory following the discovery of graphene and topological insulators. Amusingly, many of these developments have a connection to…

We establish the presence of topologically protected edge states on the (001) surface of HgS in the zinc-blende structure using density-functional electronic structure calculations. The Dirac point of the edge state cone is very close to…

A number of topological nodes including Dirac, quadratic and triple band touching points as well as a pair of degenerate Dirac line nodes are found to emerge in the triplet plaquette excitations of the frustrated spin-1/2 $J_1$-$J_2$…

We explore superconductivity in strongly interacting electrons on a decorated honeycomb lattice (DHL). An easy-plane ferromagnetic interaction arises from spin-orbit coupling in the Mott insulating phase, which favors a triplet resonance…

In this article we study 3D non-Hermitian higher-order Dirac semimetals (NHHODSMs). Our focus is on $C_4$-symmetric non-Hermitian systems where we investigate inversion ($\mathcal{I}$) or time-reversal ($\mathcal{T}$) symmetric models of…

The Heun equation can be rewritten as an eigenvalue equation for an ordinary differential operator of the form $-d^2/dx^2+V(g;x)$, where the potential is an elliptic function depending on a coupling vector $g\in{\mathbb R}^4$.…

In $L_2({\mathbb R}^d;{\mathbb C}^n)$, we study a selfadjoint strongly elliptic operator $A_\varepsilon$ of order $2p$ given by the expression $b({\mathbf D})^* g({\mathbf x}/\varepsilon) b({\mathbf D})$, $\varepsilon >0$. Here $g({\mathbf…

We study a Dirac Harper model for moir\'e bilayer superlattices where layer antisymmetric strain periodically modulates the interlayer coupling between two honeycomb lattices in one spatial dimension. Discrete and continuum formulations of…

The electronic properties of hydrogenated graphenes are investigated with the first-principles calculations. Geometric structures, energy bands, charge distributions, and density of states (DOS) strongly depend on the different…

The paper aims to study the spectral properties of elliptic operators with highly inhomogeneous coefficients and related issues concerning wave propagation in high-contrast media. A unified approach to solving problems in bounded domains…

Based on first-principles calculations of structure optimization, phonon modes and finite temperature molecular dynamics, we predict that silicon and germanium have stable, two-dimensional, low-buckled, honeycomb structures. Similar to…

This paper presents a theoretical analysis on bulk and edge states in honeycomb lattice photonic crystals with and without time-reversal and/or space-inversion symmetries. Multiple Dirac cones are found in the photonic band structure and…

Non-Hermitian systems with complex-valued energy spectra provide an extraordinary platform for manipulating unconventional dynamics of light. Here, we demonstrate the localization of light in an instantaneously reconfigurable non-Hermitian…
