Bulk-edge correspondence for the nonlinear eigenvalues problem of the Haldane model

Abstract

Recently, there is an interest in studying the bulk-edge correspondence for nonlinear eigenvalues problems in a two-dimensional topological system with spin-orbit coupling. By introducing auxiliary eigenvalues, the nonlinear bulk-edge correspondence was established. In this paper, taking the Haldane model as an example, we address that such a correspondence will appear in two dimensional topological system without spin-orbit coupling. The resulting edge states are characterized by the Chern number of the auxiliary energy band. A full phase diagram containing topological nontrivial phase, topological trivial phase, and metallic phase is obtained. Our work generalizes the study of the bulk-edge correspondence for nonlinear eigenvalue problems in two-dimensional system.
