Topological edge states in two-gap unitary systems: a transfer matrix approach

Topological edge states in two-gap unitary systems: a transfer matrix approach

We construct and investigate a family of two-band unitary systems living on a cylinder geometry and presenting localized edge states. Using the transfer matrix formalism, we solve and investigate in detail such states in the thermodynamic limit. Analytic considerations then suggest the construction...
