1D quasicrystals and topological markers

Topological States and adiabatic pumping in quasicrystals.

The unrelated discoveries of quasicrystals and topological insulators have in turn challenged prevailing paradigms in condensed-matter physics. We find a surprising connection between quasicrystals and topological phases of matter: (i) quasicrystals exhibit nontrivial topological properties and (ii) these properties are attributed to dimensions higher than that of the quasicrystal. Specifically...

Rhombellanic Crystals and Quasicrystals

Design of some crystal and quasicrystal networks, based on rhombellane tiling,is presented. [1,1,1]Propellane,is a synthesized organic molecule; its hydrogenated form, the bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane,may be represented by the complete bipartite graph K2,3 which is the smallest rhombellane. Topology of translational and radial structures involving rhombellanes is described in terms of vertex symbol, c...

Observation of topological phase transitions in photonic quasicrystals.

Topological insulators and topological superconductors are distinguished by their bulk phase transitions and gapless states at a sharp boundary with the vacuum. Quasicrystals have recently been found to be topologically nontrivial. In quasicrystals, the bulk phase transitions occur in the same manner as standard topological materials, but their boundary phenomena are more subtle. In this Letter...

Topological Expansion and Exponential Asymptotics in 1D Quantum Mechanics

Borel summable semiclassical expansions in 1D quantum mechanics are considered. These are the Borel summable expansions of fundamental solutions and of quantities constructed with their help. An expansion, called topological, is constructed for the corresponding Borel functions. Its main property is to order the singularity structure of the Borel plane in a hierarchical way by an increasing com...
