An edge state is a time-harmonic solution of a conservative wave system, e.g. Schroedinger, Maxwell, which is propagating (plane-wave-like) parallel to, and localized transverse to, a line-defect or "edge". Topologically protected edge…

With a generic lattice model for electrons occupying a semi-infinite crystal with a hard surface, we study the eigenstates of the system with a bulk band gap (or the gap with nodal points). The exact solution to the wave functions of…

In this paper, we investigate the band properties of 2D honeycomb plasmonic lattices consisting of metallic nanoparticles. By means of the coupled dipole method and quasi-static approximation, we theoretically analyze the band structures…

We study wave propagation in 2D honeycomb structures with a non-commensurate or ``irrational'' line defect or edge. Our model is a Schr\"odinger operator which interpolates, across the edge, between two distinct bulk (asymptotic)…

For 2D topological insulators with strong electron-hole hybridization, such as HgTe/CdTe quantum wells, the widely used 4 x 4 k.p Hamiltonian based on the first electron and heavy hole sub-bands yields an equal number of physical and…

We analyze the topological and dynamical properties of a system formed by two chains of identical emitters coupled to a waveguide, whose guided modes induce all-to-all excitation hopping. We find that, in the single excitation limit, the…

We study tangent bifurcation of band edge plane waves in nonlinear Hamiltonian lattices. The lattice is translationally invariant. We argue for the breaking of permutational symmetry by the new bifurcated periodic orbits. The case of two…

This paper concerns the topological classification of continuous Hamiltonians that find applications in biased cold plasmas and photonics. Besides a magnetic bias, the Hamiltonians are parametrized by a plasma frequency and a fixed vertical…

We study energy propagation along line-defects (edges) in 2D continuous, energy preserving periodic media. The unperturbed medium (bulk) is modeled by a honeycomb Schroedinger operator, which is periodic with respect to the triangular…

Edge states in topological insulators (TIs) disperse symmetrically about one of the time-reversal invariant momenta $\Lambda$ in the Brillouin zone (BZ) with protected degeneracies at $\Lambda$. Commonly TIs are distinguished from trivial…

We study edge states of a random Schroedinger operator for an electron submitted to a magnetic field in a finite macroscopic two dimensional system of linear dimensions equal to L. The y direction is L-periodic and in the x direction the…

In this Letter, it is shown that interactions can facilitate the emergence of topological edge states of quantum-degenerate bosonic systems in the presence of a harmonic potential. This effect is demonstrated with the concrete model of a…

We analyze chiral topological edge modes in a non-Hermitian variant of the 2D Dirac equation. Such modes appear at interfaces between media with different "masses" and/or signs of the "non-Hermitian charge". The existence of these edge…

Continuum grid-like frames composed of rigidly jointed beams are classic subjects in the field of structural mechanics, whose topological dynamical properties have only recently been revealed. For two-dimensional frames, higher-order…

This paper summarizes and extends the authors' work on the bifurcation of topologically protected edge states in continuous two-dimensional honeycomb structures. We consider a family of Schr\"odinger Hamiltonians consisting of a bulk…

Edge states reveal the nontrivial topology of energy band in the bulk. As localized states at boundaries, many-body edge states may obey a special symmetry that is broken in the bulk. When local particle-particle interaction is induced,…

We consider two dimensional systems in which edge states coexist with a gapless bulk. Such systems may be constructed, for example, by coupling a gapped two dimensional state of matter that carries edge states to a gapless two dimensional…

Some popular mechanisms for restricting the diffusion of waves include introducing disorder (to provoke Anderson localization) and engineering topologically non-trivial phases (to allow for topological edge states to form). However, other…

We use the bulk Hamiltonian for a three-dimensional topological insulator such as $\rm Bi_2 Se_3$ to study the states which appear on its various surfaces and along the edge between two surfaces. We use both analytical methods based on the…

Linearity of the topological insulator edge state spectrum plays the crucial role for various transport phenomena. The previous studies found that this linearity exists near the spectrum crossing point, but did not determine how perfect the…
