Abstract

Soundwaves travelling through air are essentially longitudinal waves that carryneither spin nor charge, and thus do not respond to magnetic fields. However,by constructing gauge fields with different approaches, it is possible toexplore magnetic-like effects for sound, such as the quantum Hall effect, andconstruct various acoustic topological phases. In this talk, I will brieflyintroduce the field of topological acoustics and some of our recent works.
