Geometric Model of Topological Insulators from the Maxwell Algebra
Giandomenico Palumbo
We propose a novel geometric model of three-dimensional topological insulators in presence of an external electromagnetic field. The gapped boundary of these systems supports relat…
Conformal QED in two-dimensional topological insulators
N. Menezes, Giandomenico Palumbo, C. Morais Smith
It has been shown recently that local four-fermion interactions on the edges of two-dimensional time-reversal-invariant topological insulators give rise to a new non-Fermi-liquid p…
Nested Defects on the Boundary of Topological Superconductors
James de Lisle, Giandomenico Palumbo, Adil. A. Gangat +1
Helical Majorana edge states at the 2D boundaries of 3D topological superconductors can be gapped by a surface Zeeman field. Here we study the effect nested defects imprinted on th…
