The aim of this series of two papers is to discuss topological invariants for interacting topological insulators (TIs). In the first paper (I), we provide a paradigm of efficient numerical evaluation scheme for topological invariants, in…
A two-dimensional (2D) topological insulator (TI) exhibits the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect, in which topologically protected spin-polarized conducting channels exist at the sample edges. Experimental signatures of the QSH effect have…
We explore the 32 crystallographic point groups and identify topological phases of matter with robust surface modes. For n =3,4 and 6 of the C_{nv} groups, we find the first-known 3D topological insulators without spin-orbit coupling, and…
We study magnon-polaron hybrid states, mediated by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya and magnetoelastic interactions, in a two-dimensional ferromagnetic insulator. The magnetic system consists of both in-plane and flexural acoustic and optical phonon…
Solitons formed through the one-dimensional mass-kink mechanism on the edges of two-dimensional systems with non-trivial topology play an important role in the emergence of higher-order (HO) topological phases. In this connection, the…
A two-dimensional spin-directed $\mathbb{Z}^{\,}_{2}$ network model is constructed that describes the combined effects of dimerization and disorder for the surface states of a weak three-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}^{\,}_{2}$ topological…
Recently Chern insulators with Chern number $C=1$ and $C=2$ in zero (or very small) magnetic field have been observed in two moire graphene systems: twisted bilayer graphene and ABC trilayer graphene, both aligned with a hexagonal…
Artificial neural networks and machine learning have now reached a new era after several decades of improvement where applications are to explode in many fields of science, industry, and technology. Here, we use artificial neural networks…
The Chern number, nu, as a topological invariant that identifies the winding of the ground state in the particle-hole space, is a definitive theoretical signature that determines whether a given superconducting system can support Majorana…
A central property of (Chern) topological insulators is the presence of robust asymmetric transport along interfaces separating two-dimensional insulating materials in different topological phases. A Topological Anderson Insulator is an…
The recently discovered three dimensional or bulk topological insulators are expected to exhibit exotic quantum phenomena. It is believed that a trivial insulator can be twisted into a topological state by modulating the spin-orbit…
There has been growing excitement over the possibility of employing artificial neural networks (ANNs) to gain new theoretical insight into the physics of quantum many-body problems. ``Interpretability'' remains a concern: can we understand…
As a topological insulator, the quantum Hall (QH) effect is indexed by the Chern and spin-Chern numbers $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{C}_{\text{spin}}$. We have only $\mathcal{C}_{\text{spin}}=0$ or $\pm \frac{1}{2}$ in conventional QH…
Robustness against disorder and defects is a pivotal advantage of topological systems, manifested by absence of electronic backscattering in the quantum Hall and spin-Hall effects, and unidirectional waveguiding in their classical analogs.…
The recently introduced classification of two-dimensional insulators in terms of topological crystalline invariants has been applied so far to "obstructed" atomic insulators characterized by a mismatch between the centers of the electronic…
The identification of the topological invariant of a topological system is crucial in experiments. However, due to the inherent non-Hermitian features, such determination is notably challenging in non-Hermitian systems. Here, we propose…
Motivated by a recent experiment reporting the fractional quantum spin Hall effect in twisted ${\rm MoTe}_2$, we investigate microscopically the prospects of realizing exotic topologically ordered states beyond conventional quantum Hall…
Twisted transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) host bands with opposite Chern number for the two spin species and could thus be host for fractional topological insulator states. In multicomponent quantum Hall systems, where the spins have…
Topological superconductors give rise to unconventional superconductivity, which is mainly characterized by the symmetry of the superconducting pairing amplitude. However, since the symmetry of the superconducting pairing amplitude is not…
Edge/surface states often appear in a topologically nontrivial phase, when the system has a boundary. The edge state of a one-dimensional topological insulator is one of the simplest examples. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) is an ideal probe…
