In this project, we study the properties of a non-trivial topological system which exhibits localized edge states. In our study, we adress the Kitaev chain, a one-dimensional chain of atoms deposited on top of a p-wave superconductor that induces superconductivity in the chain by proximity effect. We establish a correspondence between the Kitaev ch...

On a non-compact, locally compact, complete geodesic space (X,d), we assign every point a new type of distance-like function. We investigate some fundamental properties relating this kind of functions to the topology and geometry of (X,d).

We study the real loci of toric degenerations of complex varieties with reducible central fibre. We show that the topology of such degenerations can be explicitly described via the Kato–Nakayama space of the central fibre as a log space. We furthermore provide generalities of real structures in log geometry and their lift to Kato–Nakayama spaces. A...
