连续介质中的反常体-边对应

Anomalous bulk-edge correspondence in continuous media

Clément Tauber, Pierre Delplace, Antoine Venaille

摘要:

拓扑学在物理学中的作用越来越大,超越了凝聚态物质中的拓扑绝缘体。从地球物理流体到活性物质、声学或光子学,越来越多的系统家族呈现拓扑保护的手征边缘模式。这种模式的数量应该与为没有边界的样品定义的体积拓扑不变量(例如,陈数)相一致,与体积-边缘对应一致。然而,当处理没有小尺度截止的连续介质时,情况并非总是如此。边缘模式的数量实际上取决于边界条件,即使是适当的散装正规化,显示一个明显的矛盾,散装边缘对应被违反。在本文中,我们解决了这个悖论表明,异常是由于{鬼}边缘模式隐藏在渐近部分的频谱。我们提供了一个一般的形式主义的基础上散射理论检测所有的边缘模式,使体积边缘对应恢复。我们通过奇粘性浅水模型和大量狄拉克哈密顿量来说明这种方法,并讨论了物理后果。

英文摘要:

Topology plays an increasing role in physics beyond the realm of topological insulators in condensed mater. From geophysical fluids to active matter, acoustics or photonics, a growing family of systems presents topologically protected chiral edge modes. The number of such modes should coincide with the bulk topological invariant (e.g. Chern number) defined for a sample without boundary, in agreement with the bulk-edge correspondence. However this is not always the case when dealing with continuous media where there is no small scale cut-off. The number of edge modes actually depends on the boundary condition, even when the bulk is properly regularized, showing an apparent paradox where the bulk-edge correspondence is violated. In this paper we solve this paradox by showing that the anomaly is due to {ghost} edge modes hidden in the asymptotic part of the spectrum. We provide a general formalism based on scattering theory to detect all edge modes properly, so that the bulk-edge correspondence is restored. We illustrate this approach through the odd-viscous shallow-water model and the massive Dirac Hamiltonian, and discuss the physical consequences.
