Majorana Edge States in Interacting Two-chain Ladders of Fermions
read the original abstract
In this work we study interacting spinless fermions on a two-chain ladder with inter-chain pair tunneling while single-particle tunneling is suppressed at low energy. The model embodies a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry associated with the fermion parity on each chain. We find that when the system is driven to the strong-coupling phase by the pair tunneling, Majorana excitations appear on the boundary. Such Majorana edge states correspond to two-fold degeneracy of ground states distinguished by different fermion parity on each chain, thus representing a generalization of one-dimensional topological superconductors. We also characterize the stability of the ground state degeneracy against local perturbations. Lattice fermion models realizing such effective field theory are discussed.

Magnetic-texture winding controls fermion-parity switches in an interacting $p$-wave magnet ring
Magnetic-texture winding M imposes an exact boundary phase shift πM on every fixed-particle-number level of an interacting ring, which reverses the fermion-parity assignment between adjacent winding branches in the to...
