Topology and broken symmetry in Floquet systems
Floquet systems are governed by periodic, time-dependent Hamiltonians. Prima facie they
should absorb energy from the external drives involved in modulating their couplings and …

Higher-order topological hyperbolic lattices
YL Tao, Y Xu - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
A hyperbolic lattice allows for any p-fold rotational symmetry, in stark contrast to a two-
dimensional crystalline material, where only 2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, or 6-fold rotational …

Higher-order topological odd-parity superconductors
Z Yan - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
The topological property of a gapped odd-parity superconductor is jointly determined by its
pairing nodes and Fermi surfaces in the normal state. We reveal that the contractibility of …

Floquet higher-order topological insulators with anomalous dynamical polarization
Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) have emerged as a new class of phases, whose
robust in-gap “corner” modes arise from the bulk higher-order multipoles beyond the dipoles …
