We show that the position-momentum duality offers a transparent interpretation of the band geometry at the topological band crossings. Under this duality, the band geometry with Berry connection is dual to the free-electron motion under…

Flat bands, in which kinetic energy is quenched and quantum states become macroscopically degenerate, host a rich variety of correlated and topological phases, from unconventional superconductors to fractional Chern insulators. In Hermitian…

The irreducible representations of the Lie algebra ${\frak su}$(3) describe rotational bands in the context of the nuclear shell and interacting boson models. The density matrices associated with ${\frak su}$(3) provide an alternative…

Symmetries impose structure on the Hilbert space of a quantum mechanical model. The mathematical units of this structure are the irreducible representations of symmetry groups and I consider how they function as conceptual units of…

Electronic flat bands have localized Wannier-like orbitals as zero modes. In the Lieb or the kagome models, the localized orbitals satisfy a topological condition that entails two non-contractible loop eigenstates along $x/y$-axis in real…

Empirical tight binding(ETB) methods are widely used in atomistic device simulations. Traditional ways of generating the ETB parameters rely on direct fitting to bulk experiments or theoretical electronic bands. However, ETB calculations…

We study the relationship between the shape of the electronic band structure and the thermoelectric properties. In order to study the band shape dependence of the thermoelectric properties generally, we first adopt models with band…

A central challenge in electroencephalography (EEG) foundation modeling is learning transferable representations across recordings with diverse tasks, montages, references, and spectral characteristics. Existing masked modeling approaches…

The generalized Brillouin zones (GBZs) are integral in the analysis of non-Hermitian band structures. Conventional wisdom suggests that the GBZ should be connected, where each point can be indexed by the real part of the wavevector, similar…

Band structures of several metamaterials are described by generalized eigenvalue equations where complex bands emerge even if the involved matrices are Hermitian. In this paper, we provide a geometrical understanding of the real-complex…

The interplay between symmetry and topology leads to a rich variety of electronic topological phases, protecting states such as the topological insulators and Dirac semimetals. Previous results, like the Fu-Kane parity criterion for…

We describe new families of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard (KZB) equations related to the WZW-theory corresponding to the adjoint $G$-bundles of different topological types over complex curves $\Sigma_{g,n}$ of genus $g$ with $n$ marked…

Nature harbors crystals of dimensionality ($d$) only up to three. Here we introduce the notion of \emph{projected topological branes} (PTBs): Lower-dimensional branes embedded in higher-dimensional parent topological crystals, constructed…

The low energy effective field theories of $(2+1)$ dimensional topological phases of matter provide powerful avenues for investigating entanglement in their ground states. In \cite{Fliss:2017wop} the entanglement between distinct Abelian…

We consider branes in refined topological strings. We argue that their wave-functions satisfy a Schr\"odinger equation depending on multiple times and prove this in the case where the topological string has a dual matrix model description.…

We combine space group representation theory together with scanning of closed subdomains of the Brillouin zone with Wilson loops to algebraically determine global band structure topology. Considering space group #19 as a case study, we show…

Flat-band superconductivity has theoretically demonstrated the importance of band topology to correlated phases. In two dimensions, the superfluid weight, which determines the critical temperature through the Berezinksii-Kosterlitz-Thouless…

Topological entropy measures the number of distinguishable orbits in a dynamical system, thereby quantifying the complexity of chaotic dynamics. One approach to computing topological entropy in a two-dimensional space is to analyze the…

The low-energy band-structure of electrons propagating on a lateral surface of a heterostructure consisting of three dimensional topological insulator (TI) and magnetic insulator layers has been calculated. The energy spectrum is highly…

We construct a Wannier basis for twisted bilayer graphene that is projected only from the Bloch functions of the twisted bilayer flat bands. The $C_3$ and $C_{2} \mathcal{T}$ symmetries act locally on the Wannier functions while the Wannier…
