Quasifibrations of Graphs to Find Symmetries in Biological Networks

Paolo Boldi, Ian Leifer, Hernán A. Makse

A fibration of graphs is an homomorphism that is a local isomorphism of in-neighbourhoods, much in the same way a covering projection is a local isomorphism of neighbourhoods. Rece…

Non-Hermitian Chern insulator protected by generalized rotational symmetry

Kai Chen, Alexander B. Khanikaev

We propose a non-Hermitian topological system protected by the generalized rotational symmetry which invokes rotation in space and Hermitian conjugation. The system, described by t…
