Presentation1_Bound states at disclinations: an additive rule of real and reciprocal space topology.PDF
Focusing on the two-dimensional (2D) Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, we propose an additive rule between the real-space topological invariant s of disclinations (related to the Burgers vector B) and the reciprocal-space topological invariant p of bulk wave functions (the vectored Zak phase). The disclination-induced bound states in the 2D SSH model appear only if (s + p/2π) is nonzero modulo the lattice constant. These disclination-bound states are robust against perturbations respecting C4 point group symmetry and other perturbations within an amplitude determined by p. Besides the disclination-bound states, the proposed additive rule also suggests that a half-bound state extends over only half of a sample and a hybrid-bound state, which always have a nonvanishing component of s + p/2π.
