Quantization of edge currents along magnetic interfaces: A K-theory approach


الملخص بالإنكليزية

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the propagation of topological currents along magnetic interfaces (also known as magnetic walls) of a two-dimensional material. We consider tight-binding magnetic models associated to generic magnetic multi-interfaces and describe the K-theoretical setting in which a bulk-interface duality can be derived. Then, the (trivial) case of a localized magnetic field and the (non trivial) case of the Iwatsuka magnetic field are considered in full detail. This is a pedagogical preparatory work that aims to anticipate the study of more complicated multi-interface magnetic systems.
