Locking of symmetry breaking and topological phase in an interacting fermionic wire

We construct and study an intriguing model of one-dimensional interacting fermion wire, which is enforced to be in a topological phase by the spin-orbit locking structure in the interactions, regardless of the dimerization direction of the Peierls distortion, in sharp contrast to a conventional wisd...
