Infernal and Exceptional Edge Modes: Non-Hermitian Topology Beyond the Skin Effect

M. Michael Denner, Titus Neupert, Frank Schindler

The classification of point gap topology in all local non-Hermitian symmetry classes has been recently established. However, many entries in the resulting periodic table have only…

Hermitian Bulk -- Non-Hermitian Boundary Correspondence

Frank Schindler, Kaiyuan Gu, Biao Lian +1

Non-Hermitian band theory distinguishes between line gaps and point gaps. While point gaps can give rise to intrinsic non-Hermitian band topology without Hermitian counterparts, li…

Magnetic Flux Response of Non-Hermitian Topological Phases

M. Michael Denner, Frank Schindler

We derive the response of non-Hermitian topological phases with intrinsic point gap topology to localized magnetic flux insertions. In two spatial dimensions, we identify the neces…

Topological Zero-Dimensional Defect and Flux States in Three-Dimensional Insulators

Frank Schindler, Stepan S. Tsirkin, Titus Neupert +2

In insulating crystals, it was previously shown that defects with two fewer dimensions than the bulk can bind topological electronic states. We here further extend the classificati…

Exact Quantum Scars in the Chiral Non-Linear Luttinger Liquid

Frank Schindler, Nicolas Regnault, B. Andrei Bernevig

While the chiral linear Luttinger liquid is integrable via bosonization, its non-linear counterpart does not admit for an analytic solution. In this work, we find a sub-extensive n…

Superfluid weight bounds from symmetry and quantum geometry in flat bands

Jonah Herzog-Arbeitman, Valerio Peri, Frank Schindler +2

Flat-band superconductivity has theoretically demonstrated the importance of band topology to correlated phases. In two dimensions, the superfluid weight, which determines the crit…

Non-Compact Atomic Insulators

Frank Schindler, B. Andrei Bernevig

We study the conditions for Bloch bands to be spanned by symmetric and strictly compact Wannier states that have zero overlap with all lattice sites beyond a certain range. Similar…

Dislocation Non-Hermitian Skin Effect

Frank Schindler, Abhinav Prem

We demonstrate that crystal defects can act as a probe of intrinsic non-Hermitian topology. In particular, in point-gapped systems with periodic boundary conditions, a pair of disl…

Symmetry Indicators for Inversion-Symmetric Non-Hermitian Topological Band Structures

Pascal M. Vecsei, M. Michael Denner, Titus Neupert +1

We characterize non-Hermitian band structures by symmetry indicator topological invariants. Enabled by crystalline inversion symmetry, these indicators allow us to short-cut the ca…

Theory for the negative longitudinal magnetoresistance in the quantum limit of Kramers Weyl semimetals

Bo Wan, Frank Schindler, Ke Wang +4

Negative magnetoresistance is rare in non-magnetic materials. Recently, a negative magnetoresistance has been observed in the quantum limit of -AgSe, where only one band of…

Exceptional Topological Insulators

M. Michael Denner, Anastasiia Skurativska, Frank Schindler +4

We introduce the exceptional topological insulator (ETI), a non-Hermitian topological state of matter that features exotic non-Hermitian surface states which can only exist within…

Discovery of topological metamaterials by symmetry relaxation and smooth topological indicators

Cyrill Bösch, Tena Dubček, Frank Schindler +2

Robustness against small perturbations is a crucial feature of topological properties. This robustness is both a source of theoretical interest and a drive for technological applic…

Algorithms for Tensor Network Contraction Ordering

Frank Schindler, Adam S. Jermyn

Contracting tensor networks is often computationally demanding. Well-designed contraction sequences can dramatically reduce the contraction cost. We explore the performance of simu…

Pairing Obstructions in Topological Superconductors

Frank Schindler, Barry Bradlyn, Mark H. Fischer +1

The modern understanding of topological insulators is based on Wannier obstructions in position space. Motivated by this insight, we study topological superconductors from a positi…

Reciprocal skin effect and its realization in a topolectrical circuit

Tobias Hofmann, Tobias Helbig, Frank Schindler +11

A system is non-Hermitian when it exchanges energy with its environment and non-reciprocal when it behaves differently upon the interchange of input and response. Within the field…

Fractional corner charges in spin-orbit coupled crystals

Frank Schindler, Marta Brzezińska, Wladimir A. Benalcazar +5

We study two-dimensional spinful insulating phases of matter that are protected by time-reversal and crystalline symmetries. To characterize these phases we employ the concept of c…
