Topological superconductors as nonrelativistic limits of Jackiw-Rossi and Jackiw-Rebbi models

We argue that the nonrelativistic Hamiltonian of px+ipy superconductor in two dimensions can be derived from the relativistic Jackiw-Rossi model by taking the limit of large Zeeman magnetic field and chemical potential. In particular, the existence of a fermion zero mode bound to a vortex in the px+...
