Edge localized states in the bosonic SSH model with interaction. — •Anna Posazhennikova and Tara Steinhöfel — Institut für Physik, Universität Greifswald, Greifswald, Germany

We study the bosonic SSH chain with Hubbard on-site interaction, at zero temperature. Since the model can be viewed as a merger of the Bose-Hubbard and Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, it is expected to undergo both a quantum phase transition from a superfluid Bose-Einstein condensate to a so-called Mott insulator, as well as a topological phase transition when changing dimerization patterns. We find for the topologically nontrivial limit and sufficiently weak interactions, there are edge localized hole states and discuss their origin.
