Counting Majorana bound states using complex momenta

Recently, the connection between Majorana fermions bound to the defects in arbitrary dimensions, and complex momentum roots of the vanishing determinant of the corresponding bulk Bogoliubov–de Gennes (BdG) Hamiltonian, has been established (EPL, 2015, 110, 67005). Based on this understanding, a form...
