Abstract:
In this work, we develop an index signature characterising the third order topological phases in 3D systems. This index is an alternating sum of monomial signatures of Higgs triplet values at 3D corners. We extend our method toN-dimensional systems with open boundaries, and demonstrate that the topological invariant can be efficiently generalised to any space dimension including the second order topological insulators. Known results on lower dimensional systems are recovered and an interpretation in the Higgs space parameters is given.

Sigmatropic shifts are classified based on an order term [i, j ], where i and j indicate the number of atoms across which each end of the σ bond migrates. Below are examples of a [3,3] sigmatropic shift in 1,5-hexadiene, referred...
Theory of Metallic Conduction
In this theory, Newton's second law of motion is used to determine the acceleration of an electron in the presence of an applied electric field. Then, its velocity is expressed via this acceleration.
