报告摘要:
Topological nodal line semimetals can host stable chained, linked, or knotted line degeneracies in momentum space protected by symmetries. In this talk, I will show how to use the Jones polynomial (which is a knot invariant) to classify these semimetals. I will also show that every possible change in Jones polynomial is attributed to the local evolutions around every point where two nodal lines touch. As an application of our theory, I will illustrate that nodal chain semimetals with four touching points can evolve to a Hopf link. Finally, I will extend our theory to 3D non-Hermitian exceptional line semimetals.
