Edge states in finite-length single-wall carbon nanotubes, which appear in the energy gap of the bulk states, are studied from the topological viewpoint [1,2]. An effective one-dimensional (1D) lattice model is introduced to analyze the quantum system with boundary. By analyzing the 1D lattice model, a bulk-edge correspondence, relationship between the number of edge states in the energy gap and the topological winding number defined in the corresponding bulk system, is given [1]. Manipulation of the edge states by magnetic field [3,4] is suggested in terms of the topological phase transition [2].
