We study the Haldane model with nearest-neighbor interactions. This model is physically motivated by the associated ultracold atoms implementation. We show that the topological phase of the interacting model can be characterized by a physically observable winding number. The robustness of this number extends well beyond the topological insulator phase towards attractive and repulsive interactions that are comparable to the kinetic energy scale of the model. We identify and characterize the relevant phases of the model.

The Lieb-Liniger model describes one-dimensional bosons interacting through a repulsive contact potential. In this work, we introduce an extended version of this model by replacing the contact potential with a decaying exponential. Using the recently developed continuous matrix product states techniques, we explore the ground state phase diagram of this model by examining the superfluid and density correlation functions. At weak coupling superfluidity governs the ground state, in a similar way as in the Lieb-Liniger model. However, at strong coupling quasi-crystal and super-Tonks-Girardeau regimes are also found, which are not present in the original Lieb-Liniger case. Therefore the presence of the exponentially-decaying potential leads to a superfluid/super-Tonks-Girardeau/quasi-crystal crossover, when tuning the coupling strength from weak to strong interactions. This corresponds to a Luttinger liquid parameter in the range $K in (0, infty)$; in contrast with the Lieb-Liniger model, where $K in [1, infty)$, and the screened long-range potential, where $K in (0, 1]$.
We investigate the ground-state phase diagram of the spinless Haldane-Hubbard model in the presence of quenched disorder, contrasting results obtained from both exact diagonalization as well as density matrix renormalization group, applied to a honey comb cylinder. The interplay of disorder, interactions and topology gives rise to a rich phase diagram, and in particular highlights the possibility of a disorder-driven trivial-to-topological transition in the presence of finite interactions. That is, the topological Anderson insulator, demonstrated in non-interacting settings, is shown to be stable to the presence of sufficiently small interactions before a charge density wave Mott insulator sets in. We further perform a finite-size analysis of the transition to the ordered state in the presence of disorder, finding a mixed character of first and second order transitions in finite lattices, tied to specific conditions of disorder realizations and boundary conditions used.
We introduce novel higher-order topological phases in chiral-symmetric systems (class AIII of the ten-fold classification), most of which would be misidentified as trivial by current theories. These phases are protected by multipole winding numbers, bulk integer topological invariants that in 2D and 3D are built from sublattice multipole moment operators, as defined herein. The integer value of a multipole winding number indicates the number of degenerate zero-energy states localized at each corner of a crystal. These phases are generally boundary-obstructed and robust in the presence of disorder.
Topological invariants play a key role in the characterization of topological states. Due to the existence of exceptional points, it is a great challenge to detect topological invariants in non-Hermitian systems. We put forward a dynamic winding numb er, the winding of realistic observables in long-time average, for exploring band topology in both Hermitian and non-Hermitian two-band models via a unified approach. We build a concrete relation between dynamic winding numbers and conventional topological invariants. In one-dimension, the dynamical winding number directly gives the conventional winding number. In two-dimension, the Chern number relates to the weighted sum of dynamic winding numbers of all phase singularity points. This work opens a new avenue to measure topological invariants not requesting any prior knowledge of system topology via time-averaged spin textures.
The winding number has been widely used as an invariant for diagnosing topological phases in one-dimensional chiral-symmetric systems. We put forward a real-space representation for the winding number. Remarkably, our method reproduces an exactly qua ntized winding number even in the presence of disorders that break translation symmetry but preserve chiral symmetry. We prove that our real-space representation of the winding number, the winding number defined through the twisted boundary condition, and the real-space winding number derived previously in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 046802 (2014)], are equivalent in the thermodynamic limit at half filling. Our method also works for the case of filling less than one half, where the winding number is not necessarily quantized. Around the disorder-induced topological phase transition, the real-space winding number has large fluctuations for different disordered samples, however, its average over an ensemble of disorder samples may well identify the topological phase transition. Besides, we show that our real-space winding number can be expressed as a Bott index, which has been used to represent the Chern number for two-dimensional systems.
