Topological protection conjecture for edge modes in perturbed honeycomb structures
Let Pδ[ζ]:H2[ζ]→L2[ζ]{\mathscr{P}}_\delta[\zeta]:H^2[\zeta]\to L^2[\zeta]Pδ[ζ]:H2[ζ]→L2[ζ] be the family of edge operators, with Dirac points (ξ⋆A,E⋆)(\xi_\star^A,E_\star)(ξ⋆A,E⋆) and (ξ⋆B,E⋆)(\xi_\star^B,E_\star)(ξ⋆B,E⋆) satisfying…
