Gerbes and time-reversal-invariant topological insulators
Definition. A bundle gerbe G with unitary connection (below, gerbe for short) over manifold M is a triple (Y,B,L) s.t. Y is a manifold equipped with a surjective submersion π : Y →M B is a 2-form on Y L is a line bundle (always with hermitian structure and unitary connection) over Y [2] ≡ Y ×M Y p1 −→ −→ p2 Y with the curvature p2B − p1B L comes with a groupoid multiplication L(y1,y2) × L(y2,y3...
متن کاملMajorana modes in time-reversal invariant s-wave topological superconductors.
We present a time-reversal invariant s-wave superconductor supporting Majorana edge modes. The multiband character of the model together with spin-orbit coupling are key to realizing such a topological superconductor. We characterize the topological phase diagram by using a partial Chern number sum, and show that the latter is physically related to the parity of the fermion number of the time-r...
متن کاملRealistic time-reversal invariant topological insulators with neutral atoms.
We lay out an experiment to realize time-reversal invariant topological insulators in alkali atomic gases. We introduce an original method to synthesize a gauge field in the near field of an atom chip, which effectively mimics the effects of spin-orbit coupling and produces quantum spin-Hall states. We also propose a feasible scheme to engineer sharp boundaries where the hallmark edge states ar...

متن کاملReentrant topological phase transitions in a disordered spinless superconducting wire
In a one-dimensional spinless p-wave superconductor with coherence length ξ, disorder induces a phase transition between a topologically nontrivial phase and a trivial insulating phase at the critical mean free path l = ξ/2. Here, we show that a multichannel spinless p-wave superconductor goes through an alternation of topologically trivial and nontrivial phases upon increasing the disorder str...
