Universal properties of boundary and interface charges in multichannel models of one-dimensional insulators — •Kiryl Piasotski1, Niklas Muller1, Dante Kennes1, 2, Herbert Schoeller1, and Mikhail Pletyukhov11Institut fur Theorie der Statistischen Physik, RWTH Aachen, 52056 Aachen, Germany — 2Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Center for Free Electron Laser Science, 22761 Hamburg, Germany

Generalizing our previous results on a one-dimensional single-channel continuum [1] and multichannel tight-binding [2] models, we present novel topological invariants to characterize boundary and interface charges in systems described by one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with periodic non-Abelian vector and scalar potentials. In particular, we prove that the change in boundary charge upon the continuous shift of the system towards the boundary by the distance xϕ∈[0, L] (L-period) is given by the sum of the linear function of xϕ and an integer-valued topological index I(xϕ) - the boundary invariant, and provide two equivalent representations of I(xϕ). In addition, we study translationally invariant systems interrupted by a localized impurity, we show that an excess charge on the impurity is a quantized integer quantity given by a winding number expression.
