One-dimensional symmetry protected topological phases and their transitions

One-dimensional symmetry protected topological phases and their transitions

The authors present a unified perspective on a large class of one-dimensional symmetry-protected topological phases. Characterizing critical points between such phases leads to a conjecture of a topological lower bound on the central charge in terms of the phase-specific edge mode dimension.
