Bogoliubov excitations of Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices may possess band topology in analogous to topological insulators in class AII of fermions. Using the language of the Krein-space theory, this topological property is shown to be protected by a pseudo-time-reversal symmetry that is pseudo-antiunitary and squares to $-1$, with the associated bulk topological invariant also being a $\mathbb Z_2$ index. We construct three equivalent expressions for it, relating to the Pfaffian, the pseudo-time-reversal polarization, and most practically, the Wannier center flow, all adopted from the fermionic case, defined here with respect to the pseudo inner product. In the presence of an additional pseudo-unitary and pseudo-Hermitian inversion symmetry, a simpler expression is derived. We then study two toy models feasible on cold atom platforms to numerically confirm the bulk-boundary correspondence. The Krein-space approach developed in this work is a universal formalism to study all kinds of symmetry-protected topological bosonic Bogoliubov bands.

Nodal Line Topological Superfluid and Multiply Protected Majorana Fermi Arc in a Three-Dimensional Time-Reversal-Invariant Superfluid Model
理论上研究了一种时间反演不变的三维超流体模型,该模型是通过在$z$方向上叠加具有层内自旋轨道耦合和不同层相反的塞曼能量分裂的全同双层模型来实现的,该模型是最近提出的一种二维时间反演不变的拓扑超流体模型.我们发现,该模型显示了两种拓扑非平凡的阶段:无间隙的阶段与节线对手征对称性保护和有间隙的阶段,这两个支持时间反演不变的马约拉纳费米弧(MFA)的$yz$和$xz$侧表面。这些MFA遵守时间反演和粒子-空穴对称性,并受到镜像子空间中的缠绕数和二维DIII类拓扑超流体的$Z_2$数的拓扑保护,这与非零Chern数保护的时间反演破缺Weyl超流体的MFA不同.这个重要的观察意味着我们模型中的MFA代表了一种以前没有探索过的新型拓扑状态。该模型中的塞曼场组态与反铁磁拓扑绝缘体MnBi $_2$ Te $_4$有关,从而为进一步研究实际反铁磁拓扑绝缘体中的超导效应提供了理论依据.
Time-reversal-protected single-Dirac-cone topological-insulator states in Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3: Topologically Spin-polarized Dirac fermions with pi Berry's Phase
我们证明了强自旋-轨道耦合材料Bi_2 Te_3和Sb_2 Te_3(第一非Bi拓扑绝缘体)及其衍生物属于Z_2(Time-Reflections-Protected,Elastic Backscattering suppressed)拓扑绝缘体类。使用第一性原理理论计算和光电子能谱相结合,我们直接表明,Bi 2 Te 3是一个大的自旋轨道诱导的间接体带隙(约150 meV)的半导体,其表面的特点是由一个单一的拓扑自旋狄拉克锥。自掺杂Sb_2Te_3的电子结构具有类似的Z_2拓扑性质。我们证明了表面自旋狄拉克费米子的动力学可以通过系统的Mn掺杂来控制,使这些材料类潜在地适合于探索新的拓扑物理。我们强调(理论上和实验上)狄拉克节点是很好的体隙内,不与体价带退化。
