Topological edge states in acoustic Kagome lattices

We demonstrate that an acoustic Kagome lattice formed by an array of interconnected resonant cavities exhibits a new class of topological states protected by C _3 symmetry, and it is characterised by a topological invariant in the form of a winding number in Pauli vector space. This acoustic topolog...
