Corroborating the bulk-edge correspondence in weakly interacting one-dimensional topological insulators

Abstract

We present a Green's function formalism to investigate the topological properties of weakly interacting one-dimensional topological insulators, including the bulk-edge correspondence and the quantum criticality near topological phase transitions, and using interacting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model as an example. From the many-body spectral function, we find that closing of the bulk gap remains a defining feature even if the topological phase transition is driven by interactions. The existence of edge state in the presence of interactions can be captured by means of a T -matrix formalism combined with Dyson's equation, and the bulk-edge correspondence is shown to be satisfied even in the presence of interactions. The critical exponent of the edge state decay length is shown to be affiliated with the same universality class as the noninteracting limit. arXiv:1905.02583v1 [cond-mat.str-el]

Unifying topological phase transitions in non-interacting, interacting, and periodically driven systems

“…Consequently, the Fourier transform of the curvature function represents the amplitude of the convoluted Green's function propagating over a certain distance [28]. Moreover, the gap closure at the TPTs can be identified from the spectral function, and the zero energy topological edge state can be pinpointed from the local density of states, corroborating the bulk-edge correspondence in the presence of interactions [64].…”

A supervised learning algorithm for interacting topological insulators based on local curvature

“…where c I i is the spinless fermion annihilation operator on sublattice I = {A, B} at site i, t + δt and t − δt are the hopping amplitudes on the even and the odd bonds, respectively, and Q k = (t + δt) + (t − δt)e −ik after a Fourier transform. We consider the nearest-neighbor interaction [14,35]…”

“…In addition, effects of ac and dc fields [45][46][47], long range perturbations [48], effects of next neighbours [49,50] and thermoelectric properties [51] were studied well. Furthermore, edge states transport blockade [52], results of multi-edge states [53], effects of many-body interactions in addition to bulk-edge correspondence and the quantum criticality in weakly interacting systems by using the Green's function for calculating the many-body curvature function [54,55], out-of-equilibrium bulk-boundary correspondence [56], Zeeman fields and spin orbit coupling [57][58][59] and topological properties of domain wall states [60] were deliberated.…”
