Topologically nontrivial multicritical points
Ranjith R Kumar, Pasquale Marra
Recently, the intriguing interplay between topology and quantum criticality has been unveiled in one-dimensional topological chains with extended nearest-neighbor couplings. In the…
Hidden localization transitions in canonically rotated Aubry-André models
Pasquale Marra
Anderson localization is a phase transition between a "metallic phase", where wavefunctions are extended and delocalized in space, and an "insulating phase", where wavefunctions ar…
Controlling energy spectra and skin effect via boundary conditions in non-Hermitian lattices
S Rahul, Pasquale Marra
Non-Hermitian systems exhibit unique spectral properties, including the non-Hermitian skin effect and exceptional points, often influenced by boundary conditions. The modulation of…
Nonhermitian topological zero modes at smooth domain walls: Exact solutions
Pasquale Marra, Angela Nigro
The bulk-boundary correspondence predicts the existence of boundary modes localized at the edges of topologically nontrivial systems. The wavefunctions of hermitian boundary modes…
Zero energy modes with Gaussian, exponential, or polynomial decay: Exact solutions in hermitian and nonhermitian regimes
Pasquale Marra, Angela Nigro
Topological zero modes in topological insulators or superconductors are exponentially localized at the phase transition between a topologically trivial and nontrivial phase. These…
Topological zero modes and bounded modes at smooth domain walls: Exact solutions and dualities
Pasquale Marra, Angela Nigro
Topology describes global quantities invariant under continuous deformations, such as the number of elementary excitations at a phase boundary, without detailing specifics. Convers…
