abstract
Lieb excitations are fundamental to the understanding of the low energy behaviour of many-body quantum gases. Here we study the spectral function of a Tonks-Girardeau gas in a finite sized Kronig-Penney potential and show that the Lieb-I and Lieb-II excitations can become gapped as a function of the barrier height. Moreover, we reveal the existence of a topological flat mode near the Fermi energy and at zero momentum and show that this is robust to perturbations in the system. Through a scaling analysis, we determine the divergent behaviour of the spectral function. Our results provide a significant reference for the observation and understanding of the gapped Lieb excitations and the topological flat mode of quantum gases in experimentally realistic subwavelength optical lattice potentials.

Emergence of nonequilibrium Lieb excitations in periodically driven strongly interacting bosons
Nonequilibrium Lieb excitations appear in the exact Floquet spectral function of driven Tonks-Girardeau bosons when the mapped fermions form a Floquet-Fermi sea, and become linear across the Brillouin zone at low frequency.
