The Zak phase in topologically insulating chains: invariants and limitations
Federico Manzoni, Domenico Monaco, Gabriele Peluso
In this work we investigate the topological content of the Zak phase in one-dimensional translation-invariant topological insulators endowed with time-reversal, particle-hole and/o…
The asymptotic charges of Curtright dual graviton and Curtright extensions of BMS algebra
Federico Manzoni
This paper studies the asymptotic gauge charges of the Curtright mixed-symmetry rank-3 field in Minkowski spacetime, interpreted in as the dual graviton.…
Higher-order -form asymptotic symmetries in
Federico Manzoni, Matteo Romoli
We investigate higher-order asymptotic symmetries for a -form gauge field in -dimensional Minkowski spacetime, where Hodge duality with a scalar holds. Employing symple…
Duality, asymptotic charges and higher form symmetries in -form gauge theories
Federico Manzoni
The surface charges associated with -form gauge fields in the Bondi patch of -dimensional Minkowski spacetime are computed. We show that, under the Hodge duality between the…
Duality, asymptotic charges and algebraic topology in mixed symmetry tensor gauge theories and applications
Federico Manzoni
Recently the duality map between electric-like asymptotic charges of -form gauge theories is studied. The outcome is an existence and uniqueness theorem and the topological natu…
On the solution of the harmonic-divgrad PDEs system
Federico Manzoni
We study a particular system of partial differential equations in which the Laplace--Beltrami, the divergence and the gradient operators of the unknown functions appear (harmonic-d…
