Bulk Invariants for 2D Floquet Topological Systems
ORAL
Abstract
In many examples of topological phases, there exists a bulk-boundary correspondence that relates topological properties of the edge to topological properties of the bulk. In this talk, we present a bulk-boundary correspondence for non-interacting and interacting Floquet MBL systems in two spatial dimensions. Using this correspondence, we derive bulk invariants for several classes of Floquet systems, including interacting systems without symmetry and with U(1) symmetry, and non-interacting systems. The bulk invariants do not require translation symmetry or flux threading. In systems with $U(1)$ symmetry, the bulk invariant can be related to both a magnetization density and a conserved edge current.
