We consider several classes of symmetries of the Dirac Hamiltonian in 3 + 1 dimensions, with axially deformed scalar and vector potentials. The symmetries include the known pseudospin and spin limits and additional symmetries which occur when the potentials depend on different variables. Supersymmetries are observed within each class and the corresponding charges are identified.

Artificial honeycomb lattices are essential for understanding exotic quantum phenomena arising from the interplay between Dirac physics and electron correlation. This work shows that the top two moiré valence bands in rhombohedral-stacked twisted MoS bilayers (tb-MoS) form a honeycomb lattice with massless Dirac fermions. The hopping and Coulomb interaction parameters are explicitly determined based on large-scale ab initio calculations.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses how graphene-based van der Waals heterostructures can manipulate spin-orbit coupling (SOC) through proximity effects, emphasizing the importance of understanding features near the Dirac point and the introduction of a unique "radial Rashba SOC."
- It presents a method to differentiate between conventional Rashba SOC and radial Rashba SOC, utilizing large-scale magnetotransport calculations like transverse magnetic focusing and Dyakonov-Perel spin relaxation to reveal distinct experimental signatures.
- Additionally, the study proposes a way to estimate the Rashba angle using magnetic field responses and explores the effects of Dresselhaus SOC, hinting at potential applications in radial superconducting diodes.
Manipulating Floquet-driven topological insulator with off-resonant elliptically polarized light in presence of hexagonal Fermi surface warping.

The irradiation of topological insulator surface with elliptically polarized light modifies the topological properties in a phase-dependent manner impacting the Floquet Chern number which is a crucial topological invariant associated with such driven systems. Employing Floquet theory in presence of hexagonal warping term in the Dirac fermion Hamiltonian under off-resonant conditions, we derive an effective Hamiltonian that highlights distinct features in the Floquet-Dirac surface states. Specifically, we identify a helicity and ellipticity-dependent mass term in the quasi-static Hamiltonian, breaking time reversal symmetry.

This Letter presents a theory of interaction-induced band-flattening in strongly correlated electron systems. We begin by illustrating an inherent connection between flat bands and index theorems, and presenting a generic prescription for constructing flat bands by periodically repeating local Hamiltonians with topological zero modes. Specifically, we demonstrate that a Dirac particle in an external, spatially periodic magnetic field can be cast in this form.

Article Synopsis
- Disorder is a common phenomenon in nature that has been studied in photonics to understand light behavior and for practical applications like random lasers.
- Recent research in topological photonics has led to the discovery of topological Anderson insulators, with a focus on achieving these without breaking time-reversal symmetry.
- The study demonstrates the effects of disorder on light propagation, showing unidirectional movement of helical edge modes and introducing new ways to manipulate light using disorder in systems without magnets.
