AbstractThe topology of insulators is usually revealed through the presence of gapless boundary modes: this is the so-called bulk-boundary correspondence. However, the many-body wavefunction of a crystalline insulator is endowed with additional topological properties that do not yield surface spectral features, but manifest themselves as (fractional) quantized electronic charges localized at the crystal boundaries. Here, we formulate such bulk-corner correspondence for the physical relevant case of materials with time-reversal symmetry and spin-orbit coupling. To do so we develop partial real-space invariants that can be neither expressed in terms of Berry phases nor using symmetry-based indicators. These previously unknown crystalline invariants govern the (fractional) quantized corner charges both of isolated material structures and of heterostructures without gapless interface modes. We also show that the partial real-space invariants are able to detect all time-reversal symmetric topological phases of the recently discovered fragile type.

Abstract The rooted maps theory, a branch of the theory of homology, is shown to be a powerful tool for investigating the topological properties of Feynman diagrams, related to the single particle propagator in the quantum many-body systems. The numerical correspondence between the number of this class of Feynman diagrams as a function of perturbative order and the number of rooted maps as a function of the number of edges is studied. A graphical procedure to associate Feynman diagrams and rooted maps is then stated. Finally, starting from rooted maps principles, an original definition of the genus of a Feynman diagram, which totally differs from the usual one, is given.

In this paper, several four-quantum-dot topological structures are designed. The influence of the interdot coupling strength and intradot Coulomb interactions on the conductance is discussed. The location of the anti-resonance band can be manipulated by tuning the interdot coupling strength, which suggests a physical scheme of an effective quantum switch. The Fano anti-resonance peak may evolve into a resonance peak. For the particular value of the interdot coupling strength, two Fano anti-resonances collapse and bound states in the continuum are formed. Moreover, many-body effect makes the number of anti-resonance bands increase. This study provides a theoretical basis for the design of quantum computing devices.
