Exciton Alchemy: Chern Excitons from Trivial Bands

Yoonseok Hwang, Henry Davenport, Frank Schindler

Exciton topology is commonly inherited from the topology of the underlying electronic bands. Recent theoretical work, however, has shown that the exciton Chern number can in genera…

Fragile Topology is Unstable Under Translation Refinement

Yoonseok Hwang, Saavanth Velury, Taylor L. Hughes

Fragile topological phases become trivial upon the addition of suitable trivial bands, distinguishing them from stable topological phases. Nevertheless, various response phenomena…

Composite Quantum Geometry and Semiclassical Dynamics

Henry Davenport, Yoonseok Hwang, Johannes Knolle +1

We derive semiclassical equations of motion for general composite bound states in insulators and semiconductors, covering excitations such as excitons and trions. For neutral compo…

Stable Wave-Function Zeros Indicate Exciton Topology

Yoonseok Hwang, Henry Davenport, Frank Schindler

Excitons are bound states of electrons and holes whose band topology arises from an interplay between the topology of the underlying electronic bands and the structure of the elect…

Building blocks of topological band theory for photonic crystals

Yoonseok Hwang, Vaibhav Gupta, Antonio Morales-Pérez +6

We derive a framework for classifying topological bands in three-dimensional photonic band structures, where the zero frequency polarization singularity implied by Maxwell's equati…

Stable Real-Space Invariants and Topology Beyond Symmetry Indicators

Yoonseok Hwang, Vaibhav Gupta, Frank Schindler +4

We introduce stable real-space invariants (SRSIs), topological invariants defined from adiabatic deformations between Wannier states, generalizing previously discovered local and c…

Global and Local Topological Crystalline Markers for Rotation-Symmetric Insulators

Saavanth Velury, Yoonseok Hwang, Taylor L. Hughes

Crystalline symmetry can be used to predict bulk and surface properties of topological phases. For non-interacting cases, symmetry-eigenvalue analysis of Bloch states at high symme…

Spin-Resolved Topology and Partial Axion Angles in Three-Dimensional Insulators

Kuan-Sen Lin, Giandomenico Palumbo, Zhaopeng Guo +8

Symmetry-protected topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) have primarily been characterized by their gapless boundary states. However, in time-reversal- (-) invaria…
