Fermionic tensor networks for higher order topological insulators from charge pumping

Abstract

We apply the charge pumping argument to fermionic tensor network representations of d-dimensional topological insulators (TIs) to obtain tensor network states for (d+1)-dimensional TIs. We exemplify the method by constructing a two-dimensional projected entangled pair states (PEPS)for a Chern insulator starting from a matrix product state (MPS) in d=1 describing pumping in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. In extending the argument to second-order TIs, we build a three-dimensional TNS for a chiral hinge TI from a PEPS in d=2 for the obstructed atomic insulator (OAI) of the quadrupole model. The (d+1)-dimensional TNSs obtained in this way have a constant bond dimension inherited from the d-dimensional TNSs in all but one spatial direction, making them candidates for numerical applications. From the d-dimensional models, we identify gapped next-nearest neighbour Hamiltonians interpolating between the trivial and OAI phases of the fully dimerized SSH and quadrupole models, whose ground states are given by an MPS and a PEPS with a constant bond dimension equal to 2, respectively.
