Zero-energy edge states and their origin in particle-hole symmetric systems: symmetry and topology

Abstract

We propose a criterion to determine the existence of zero-energy edge states for a class of particle-hole symmetric systems. A loop is assigned for each system, and its topology and a symmetry play an essential role. Applications to d-wave superconductors are demonstrated.
