Topological invariants, zero mode edge states and finite size effect for a generalized non-reciprocal Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model

Abstract

Intriguing issues in one-dimensional non-reciprocal topological systems include the breakdown of usual bulk-edge correspondence and the occurrence of half-integer topological invariants. In order to understand these unusual topological properties, we investigate the topological phase diagrams and the zero-mode edge states of a generalized non-reciprocal Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, based on some analytical results. Meanwhile, we provide a concise geometrical interpretation of the bulk topological invariants in terms of two independent winding numbers and also give an alternative interpretation related to the linking properties of curves in three-dimensional space. For the system under the open boundary condition, we construct analytically the wavefunctions of zero-mode edge states by properly considering a hidden symmetry of the system and the normalization condition with the use of biorthogonal eigenvectors. Our analytical results directly give the phase boundary for the existence of zero-mode edge states and unveil clearly the evolution behavior of edge states. In comparison with results via exact diagonalization of finite-size systems, we find our analytical results agree with the numerical results very well.
