Though most works focus on quantum systems, topological phases can also be found in nonquantum systems. In this work, we study an antisymmetric Lotka-Volterra dynamics defined on a chain of two-site cells with open boundary conditions. We find two edge-localization states, left edge-localization state, and right edge-localization state. In an edge-localization state, there exists a boundary region in which mass distribution displays an exponential decay with the distance away from the boundary. The two edge-localization states are connected by a sharp transition. To comprehend the edge-localization states, we transform the population dynamics into a non-Hermitian quantum system. Based on the generalized topological band theory of the non-Hermitian system with periodic boundary conditions, we use winding number to distinguish the left and the right edge-localization states, and the transition between these two states is identified to be a topological one.","PeriodicalId":20085,"journal":{"name":"Physical review.

Renormalizing networks via network geometry, a framework in which their topology is based on the location of nodes in a hidden metric space, is one of the foundational approaches.

This paper extends renormalization to weak geometric coupling, showing that geometric information is essential to preserve self-similarity. Our results underline the importance of geometric effects on network topology even when the coupling to the underlying space is weak.","PeriodicalId":20085,"journal":{"name":"Physical review.

We present a unified theoretical framework from which we can easily deduce the scaling of the crossover point of each problem in an arbitrary dimension. Our theory is based on the fact that the SD limit behavior of these systems is closely related to the corresponding percolation problem. As a result, the properties of those minimal paths are completely controlled by the so-called red bonds of percolation theory. Our model is first addressed numerically and then approximated by a two-term approach. This approach provides us with an analytical expression that seems to be reasonably accurate. The results are in perfect agreement with our simulations and with most of the results reported in related works. Our research also leads us to propose this crossover point as a universal measure of the disorder strength in each case. Interestingly, that measure depends on both the statistical properties of the disorder and the topological properties of the network.","PeriodicalId":20085,"journal":{"name":"Physical review.

Regardless of the size of seismic faults, a soil element rarely has a continuous appearance. Instead, their surfaces have complex structures. Thus, the model we suggest keeps the full Newtonian dynamics with inertial effects of the original model, while incorporating the inhomogeneities of seismic fault surfaces in stick-slip friction force that depends on the local structure of the contact surfaces as shown in recent experiments. The numerical results of the proposed model show that the cluster size and the moment distributions of earthquake events are in agreement with the Gutenberg-Richter law without introducing any relaxation mechanism. The exponent of the power-law size distribution we obtain falls within a realistic range of value without fine tuning any parameter. On the other hand, we show that the size distribution of both localized and delocalized events obeys a power law in contrast to the homogeneous case. Thus, no crossover behavior between small and large events occurs.","PeriodicalId":20085,"journal":{"name":"Physical review.
