Abstract

We develop a Gaussian variational approach in replica space to investigate the phase diagram of a one-dimensional interacting disordered topological superconducting wire in the strong-coupling regime. This method allows for a nonperturbative treatment in the disorder strength, electron-electron interactions, and the superconducting pairing amplitude. We find only two stable phases: a topological superconducting phase and a glassy, nontopological localized phase, characterized by replica symmetry breaking.
