Bulk and boundary invariants for complex topological insulators

E Prodan, H Schulz-Baldes - K, 2016 - Springer
Topological insulators are crystalline solids with supposedly very special properties. If
stumbling upon such a crystal, which is possible because topological insulators are known …

Non-commutative odd Chern numbers and topological phases of disordered chiral systems

E Prodan, H Schulz-Baldes - Journal of Functional Analysis, 2016 - Elsevier
An index theorem for higher Chern characters of odd Fredholm modules over crossed
product algebras is proved, together with a local formula for the associated cyclic cocycle …

Spectral flows associated to flux tubes

G De Nittis, H Schulz-Baldes - Annales Henri Poincaré, 2016 - Springer
When a flux quantum is pushed through a gapped two-dimensional tight-binding operator,
there is an associated spectral flow through the gap which is shown to be equal to the index …

Fredholm homotopies for strongly-disordered 2D insulators

A Bols, J Schenker, J Shapiro - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2023 - Springer
We study topological indices of Fermionic time-reversal invariant topological insulators in
two dimensions, in the regime of strong Anderson localization. We devise a method to …

Time-dependent topological systems: A study of the Bott index

D Toniolo - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
The Bott index is an index that discerns among pairs of unitary matrices that can or cannot
be approximated by a pair of commuting unitary matrices. It has been successfully employed …

Topological insulators from the perspective of non-commutative geometry and index theory

H Schulz-Baldes - Jahresbericht der Deutschen Mathematiker …, 2016 - Springer
Topological insulators are solid state systems of independent electrons for which the Fermi
level lies in a mobility gap, but the Fermi projection is nevertheless topologically non-trivial …

Chern numbers as half-signature of the spectral localizer

E Lozano Viesca, J Schober… - Journal of Mathematical …, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
Two recent papers proved that complex index pairings can be calculated as the half-
signature of a finite dimensional matrix, called the spectral localizer. This paper contains a …

Quantization of interface currents

M Kotani, H Schulz-Baldes… - Journal of Mathematical …, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
At the interface of two two-dimensional quantum systems, there may exist interface currents
similar to edge currents in quantum Hall systems. It is proved that these interface currents …

Dynamical localization for discrete Anderson Dirac operators

RA Prado, CR de Oliveira, SL Carvalho - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2017 - Springer
We establish dynamical localization for random Dirac operators on the d-dimensional lattice,
with d ∈\left {1, 2, 3\right\} d∈ 1, 2, 3, in the three usual regimes: large disorder, band edge …

A spectral localizer approach to strong topological invariants in the mobility gap regime

T Stoiber - arxiv preprint arxiv:2410.22214, 2024 - arxiv.org
Topological phases of gapped one-particle Hamiltonians with (anti)-unitary symmetries are
classified by strong topological invariants according to the Altland-Zirnbauer table. Those …
