一维费米子的无隙对称性保护拓扑相

A Gapless Symmetry-Protected Topological Phase of Fermions in One Dimension

Anna Keselman, Erez Berg

摘要:

我们考虑了一个具有吸引相互作用和自旋轨道耦合的一维时反不变系统。由于超导序参量的强量子涨落,这种系统是无带隙的。然而,我们发现,一个明确定义的拓扑相与保护,指数本地化的边缘状态存在。如果自旋分量之一是保守的,边缘模式的保护可以理解为自旋间隙的存在的结果。在更一般的情况下,局部化的边缘状态产生的间隙,以单粒子激发的散装。我们考虑特定的微观模型,并证明分析和数值(使用密度矩阵重整化群计算),他们可以支持拓扑非平凡的阶段。

英文摘要:

We consider a one-dimensional, time-reversal-invariant system with attractive interactions and spin-orbit coupling. Such a system is gapless due to the strong quantum fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter. However, we show that a sharply defined topological phase with protected, exponentially localized edge states exists. If one of the spin components is conserved, the protection of the edge modes can be understood as a consequence of the presence of a spin gap. In the more general case, the localization of the edge states arises from a gap to single particle excitations in the bulk. We consider specific microscopic models and demonstrate both analytically and numerically (using density matrix renormalization group calculations) that they can support the topologically non-trivial phase.
