Multicellularity of delicate topological insulators
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Being Wannierizable is not the end of the story for topological insulators. We introduce a family of topological insulators that would be considered trivial in the paradigm set by the tenfold way, topological quantum chemistry, and the method of symmetry-based indicators. Despite having a symmetric, exponentially-localized Wannier representation, each Wannier function cannot be completely localized to a single primitive unit cell in the bulk. Such multicellular topology is shown to be neither stable, nor fragile, but delicate, i.e., the topology can be nullified by adding trivial bands to either valence or conduction band.
