Mapping Chern numbers in quasi-periodic interacting spin chains
arXiv:2010.06171
Abstract
Quasi-periodic quantum spin chains were recently found to support many topological phases in the finite magnetization sectors. They can simulate strong topological phases from class A in arbitrary dimension that are characterized by first and higher order Chern numbers. In the present work, we use those findings to generate topological phases at finite magnetization densities that carry first Chern numbers. Given the reduced dimensionality of the spin chains, this provides a unique opportunity to investigate the bulk-boundary correspondence as well as the stability and quantization of the Chern number in the presence of interactions. The later is reformulated using a torus action on the algebra of observables and its quantization and stability is confirmed by numerical simulations. The relations between Chern values and the observed edge spectrum are also discussed.
