• Abstract: We comment on the recent paper ``Floquet non-Abelian topological insulator and multifold bulk-edge correspondence" by Tianyu Li and Haiping Hu, Nat. Comm. {\bf 14}, 6418 (2023). Apart from the fact that the authors unjustly imply to study multi-gap topology in Floquet systems for the first time, only known homotopic relations are presented. While such insights are used to present interesting Floquet phenomena and phases, which is an attractive result in itself, they cannot be used to deduce the total bulk characterization in the dynamical context without further proof. In fact, the authors essentially rephrase a Zak phase description. These results should in particular be contrasted to earlier results, arXiv:2208.12824, in which static-compatible Zak phases {\it and} dynamical Dirac strings were shown to be able to {\it distinguish} rather similar non-Abelian Floquet phases in $2+1$ dimensional systems. As a result, the claim of a sharp multifold bulk-edge correspondence cannot be concluded from the given arguments.

  We study Thouless pumps, i.e., adiabatic topological transport, in an interacting spin chain described by the dimerized XXZ Hamiltonian. In the noninteracting case, quantized Thouless pumps can only occur when a topological singularity is encircled adiabatically. In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the singularity.

  Topological phases characterized by non-Abelian charges are beyond the scope of the paradigmatic way. We show that the bulk-edge correspondence is multifold and follows the multiplication rule of the quaternion group $Q_8$. In the anomalous non-Abelian phase, edge states appear in all bandgaps despite trivial quaternion charge.

  We deal with a class of nonlinear Schr"odinger lattices with random potential and subquadratic power nonlinearity. We show that the spreading process is subdiffusive and has complex microscopic organization. The limit of quadratic power nonlinearity is also discussed and shown to result in a delocalization border.

  Topological phases of matter span a wide area of research shaping fundamental pursuits and offering promise for future applications. The past two years have witnessed the rise of novel multi-gap dependent topological states. We report on uncharted anomalous phases and properties that can only arise in out-of-equilibrium Floquet settings.

  We investigate the phase diagram of hard-core bosons in two-leg ladders in the presence of soft-shoulder potentials. We show how the competition between local and non-local terms gives rise to a phase diagram with liquid phases with dominant cluster, spin, and density-wave quasi-long-range ordering.
