The Zak phase in topologically insulating chains: invariants and limitations
The Zak phase defines a Z2 topological invariant for certain 1D AZC symmetry classes but vanishes under quaternionic anti-unitary symmetries, providing only partial information about topological phases in generalized Kitaev chains.
