Order parameters and ground-state phase diagram of the interacting topological Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with extended-range hoppings
read the original abstract
Topological insulators have attracted numerous attentions recent years, where the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model is one of the most studied models. While the interacting version of it has been explored recently, the interplay between interactions and long-range hoppings merit further investigations. In this work, we uncover a rich phase diagram of the interacting SSH model with extended-range hoppings, in which it consists of several topological phases, two novel superconducting-like (SC-like) phases and five distinct charge-density-wave (CDW) phases. We substantiate that the SC-like and two CDW phases are direct consequences of imbalanced interactions and extended-range hoppings. We derive the order parameters (OPs) for each of the phases and verify them in large-system simulations, finding consistency with the entanglement entropy and the fidelity in capturing the phase transitions. In contrast to the non-interacting case where the favored hoppings are unidirectional in the topological phases, the derived OPs suggest non-unidirectional hoppings are possible under the influence of interactions.
