Diode effects are of great interest for both fundamental physics and modern technologies. Electrical diode effects (nonreciprocal transport) have been observed in Weyl systems. Optical diode effects arising from the Weyl fermions have been theoretically co ...
Three-dimensional topological semimetals have emerged as strong candidates to probe new fundamental physical phenomena that could be exploited to develop next generation electronics. However, many aspects of their electronic properties remain unclear. Thi ...
Topological semimetals are frequently discussed as materials platforms for future electronics that exploit the remarkable properties of their quasiparticles. These ideas are mostly based on dispersion relations that mimic relativistic particles, such as We ...
Scalar waves such as airborne sound lack an intrinsic spin degree of freedom, making the realization of sonic Z2 topological phases based on spin degeneracy challenging. Here, we demonstrate the relevance of synthetic dimensions and higher-dimensional topo ...
Weyl semimetals such as the TaAs family (TaAs, TaP, NbAs, NbP) host quasiparticle excitations resemblingthe long-sought-after Weyl fermions at special band-crossing points in the band structure denoted as Weylnodes. They are predicted to exhibit a negative ...
Weyl points in three-dimensional systems with certain symmetry carry non-Abelian topological charges, which can be transformed via non-trivial phase factors that arise upon braiding these points inside the reciprocal space. ...
Spectroscopic detection of Dirac and Weyl fermions in real materials is vital for both, promising applications and fundamental bridge between high-energy and condensed-matter physics. While the presence of Dirac and noncentrosymmetric Weyl fermions is well ...
Kato introduced the exotic nilpotent cone to be a substitute for the ordinary nilpotent cone of type C with cleaner properties. Here we describe the irreducible components of exotic Springer fibres (the fibres of the resolution of the exotic nilpotent cone ...
We consider a natural subclass of harmonic maps from a surface into G/T, namely cyclic primitive maps. Here G is any simple real Lie group (not necessarily compact), T is a Cartan subgroup and both are chosen so that there is a Coxeter automorphism on G(C) ...
In this paper we demonstrate how, using the coset construction, a theory can be systematically made Weyl invariant by gauging the scale symmetry. We show that an analog of the inverse Higgs constraint allows the elimination of the Weyl vector (gauge) field ...
Answering a question of A. Rapinchuk, we construct examples of non-isomorphic semisimple algebraic groups H (1) and H (2) of type G (2) having coherently equivalent systems of maximal k-tori. ...
We introduce a notion of xi-stability on the affine grassmannian (SIC) for the classical groups, this is the local version of the xi-stability on the moduli space of Higgs bundles on a curve introduced by Chaudouard and Laumon. We prove that the quotient ( ...
Non-positively curved spaces admitting a cocompact isometric action of an amenable group are investigated. A classification is established under the assumption that there is no global fixed point at infinity under the full isometry group. The visual bounda ...
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an orthogonal group defined over a global field of characteristic not equal 2 to contain a maximal torus of a given type. ...
We present a general formula for the Wess-Zumino action associated with the Weyl anomaly, given in a curved background for any even number of dimensions. The result is obtained by considering a finite Weyl transformation of counterterms in dimensional regu ...
We give a cohomological interpretation of both the Kac polynomial and the refined Donaldson-Thomas-invariants of quivers. This interpretation yields a proof of a conjecture of Kac from 1982 and gives a new perspective on recent work of Kontsevich Soibelman ...
Initial value representations are constructed to avoid the search for trajectories that are only defined in semiclassical approximations by their boundary conditions. We show how to incorporate these procedures within the full Weyl representation, so that ...
The stability for all generic equilibria of the Lie-Poisson dynamics of the so(4) rigid body dynamics is completely determined. It is shown that for the generalized rigid body certain Cartan subalgebras (called of coordinate type) of so(n) are equilibrium ...
We generalize the basic results of Vinberg's theta-groups, or periodically graded reductive Lie algebras, to fields of good positive characteristic. To this end we clarify the relationship between the little Weyl group and the (standard) Weyl group. We ded ...
The definition of Rouquier for families of characters of Weyl groups in terms of blocks of the associated Iwahori-Hecke algebra has made possible the generalization of this notion to the complex reflection groups. Here we give an algorithm for the determin ...
