On sidewalks, decade after decade, urbanites have socialized, paraded, and played, sold their wares, and observed city life. These many uses often overlap and conflict, and urban residents and planners try to include some and exclude others. In this first book-length analysis of the sidewalk as a distinct public space, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris and Renia Ehrenfeucht examine the evolution of the American urban sidewalk and trace conflicts that have arisen over its competing uses. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples as well as case study research and archival data from five cities--Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and Seattle--they discuss the characteristics of sidewalks as small urban public spaces, and such related issues as the ambiguous boundaries of their "public" status, contestation over specific uses, control and regulations, and the implications for First Amendment speech and assembly rights.Public spacesSidewalksENVIRONMENT/Environmental Politics & PolicyPublic spaces.Sidewalks.388.4/11Loukaitou-Sideris Anastasia1958-1546111Ehrenfeucht ReniaOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910777756103321Sidewalks3863108UNINA04404nam 22006615 450 991037393450332120200705233006.03-030-31960-110.1007/978-3-030-31960-1(CKB)4100000009844740(DE-He213)978-3-030-31960-1(MiAaPQ)EBC5982896(PPN)269146806(EXLCZ)99410000000984474020191120d2019 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBoundary Physics and Bulk-Boundary Correspondence in Topological Phases of Matter /by Abhijeet Alase1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (XVII, 200 p. 23 illus., 19 illus. in color.) Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-50533-030-31959-8 Chapter1: Introduction -- Chapter2: Generalization of Bloch's theorem to systems with boundary -- Chapter3: Investigation of topological boundary states via generalized Bloch theorem -- Chapter4: Matrix factorization approach to bulk-boundary correspondence -- Chapter5: Mathematical foundations to the generalized Bloch theorem -- Chapter6: Summary and Outlook.This thesis extends our understanding of systems of independent electrons by developing a generalization of Bloch’s Theorem which is applicable whenever translational symmetry is broken solely due to arbitrary boundary conditions. The thesis begins with a historical overview of topological condensed matter physics, placing the work in context, before introducing the generalized form of Bloch's Theorem. A cornerstone of electronic band structure and transport theory in crystalline matter, Bloch's Theorem is generalized via a reformulation of the diagonalization problem in terms of corner-modified block-Toeplitz matrices and, physically, by allowing the crystal momentum to take complex values. This formulation provides exact expressions for all the energy eigenvalues and eigenstates of the single-particle Hamiltonian. By precisely capturing the interplay between bulk and boundary properties, this affords an exact analysis of several prototypical models relevant to symmetry-protected topological phases of matter, including a characterization of zero-energy localized boundary excitations in both topological insulators and superconductors. Notably, in combination with suitable matrix factorization techniques, the generalized Bloch Hamiltonian is also shown to provide a natural starting point for a unified derivation of bulk-boundary correspondence for all symmetry classes in one dimension.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Solid state physicsPhase transformations (Statistical physics)Mathematical physicsPhysicsSemiconductorsSolid State Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25013Phase Transitions and Multiphase Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25099Mathematical Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Semiconductorshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25150Solid state physics.Phase transformations (Statistical physics)Mathematical physics.Physics.Semiconductors.Solid State Physics.Phase Transitions and Multiphase Systems.Mathematical Physics.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Semiconductors.530.41Alase Abhijeetauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064356MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910373934503321Boundary Physics and Bulk-Boundary Correspondence in Topological Phases of Matter2537596UNINA
