Discriminant and symmetry

Discriminant and symmetry

As widely accepted, the degeneracy of eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian is a singular point, which is the source of the non-trivial topology. Then it is more than natural that the discriminant of the sec...

Non-hermitian topology in game theory

Non-hermitian topology in game theory

The use of topological invariants for the characterization of material phases has been quite successful. Non-trivial topology is reflected by physical observables near the boundaries of systems as a b...

First/second order topology in honeycomb lattice

First/second order topology in honeycomb lattice

The Haldane model with Kekulè distortion possesses various phases characterized by different topology with specific boundary states. Competition between the 1st/2nd order topology (1D/0D boundary stat...

Flux attachement and bulk-edge correspondence

Flux attachement and bulk-edge correspondence

Adiabatic insertion of the Aharonov-Bohm flux through two pinholes introduces charge transport between them when the system is topologically non-trivial. This is the Laughlin argument. The defects/pin...

Multi-fold EP protected by anti-unitary symmetry

Multi-fold EP protected by anti-unitary symmetry

Generic degeneracy of a non-hermitian hamiltonian implies a set of the eigenvectors is not enough to span the total linear space. One needs to extend the idea of the eigenstates to the generic ones, w...

3D HOTI of Hubbard model by  negative sign free quantum Monte Carlo

3D HOTI of Hubbard model by negative sign free quantum Monte Carlo

Corner states of the breezing Pyrochlore lattice are protected by the Z4 symmetry as a typical example of the bulk-edge/boundary correspondence using Z4 Berry phase. With on-site Coulomb interaction, ...

Bulk-edge correspondence of interacting bosonic pump

Bulk-edge correspondence of interacting bosonic pump

Topological (adiabatic) pumps are typical problems where the bulk-edge correspondence is justified. The Chern number of the bulk and the behavior of the edge states are linked intimately. As for most ...

Non real energies for Hermitian problems

Non real energies for Hermitian problems

Eigenvalues may not be always real for generalized eigenvalue problems even if the Hamiltonian and overlap matrices are both Hermitian. When the overlap is associated with a norm of physical state, th...

Multiple quantum scars and dynamics

Multiple quantum scars and dynamics

A flat band system with interaction that possesses a single "quantum scar", which we have proposed in Kuno-Mizoguchi-Hatsugai, Phys. Rev. B 102, 241115(R) (2020), is extended to a system wit...

One more topological phase with chiral edge states

Bulk-edge correspondence is universal. We do find a novel playground of the chiral edge states protected by bulk topology. It is in the evolutionary game theory realized in a kagome network. The paper...

Reduction of non-hermitian topology in 0-D

Many body interactions may modify the topology of physical systems. We have discussed it for a simple 0-D system with non-hermitian hamiltonian. Have a look at our recent paper, "Correlation effe...

Plateau transitions of quantum spin chain

Plateau transitions of quantum spin chain

Quantum mechanics tells us particles are waves at the same time. One may then naively expect that the quantum state is extended, especially with translational invariance. However, it is not always tru...

Symmetries and square-root operations

Motivated by the relation between the Dirac/Schrodinger hamiltonians, the square root topological phase (SRTI) has been discussed in several cases recently. Here the roles of symmetries in SRTI are fo...
