This work concerns the description of the topological phases of band insulators of class DIII by using the equivariant cohomology. The main result is the definition of a cohomology class for general systems of class DIII which generalizes the well-known Z2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\mathbb {Z}_2…

A new light on the FKMM invariant and its consequences

A BSTRACT . “Quaternionic” vector bundles are the objects which describe the topological phases of quantum systems subjected to an odd time-reversal symmetry (class AII). In this work we prove that…

Symmetric Fermi projections and Kitaev’s table: Topological phases of matter in low dimensions

We review Kitaev’s celebrated “periodic table” for topological phases of condensed matter, which identifies ground states (Fermi projections) of gapped periodic quantum systems up to continuous…

Homotopy theory of strong and weak topological insulators

We use homotopy theory to extend the notion of strong and weak topological insulators to the non-stable regime (low numbers of occupied/empty energy bands). We show that for strong topological…

Generalized Connes-Chern characters in KK-theory with an application to weak invariants of topological insulators

We use constructive bounded Kasparov K-theory to investigate the numerical invariants stemming from the internal Kasparov products $K_i(\mathcal A) \times KK^i(\mathcal A, \mathcal B) \rightarrow…

Chiral vector bundles

Given a smooth $G$-vector bundle $E \to M$ with a connection $\nabla$, we propose the construction of a sheaf of vertex algebras $\mathcal{E}^{ch(E,\nabla)}$, which we call a \textit{chiral vector…

CLASSIFICATION OF "REAL" BLOCH-BUNDLES: TOPOLOGICAL INSULATORS OF TYPE AI

A classification of type AI topological insulators in dimension d = 1; 2; 3; 4 which is based on the equivariant homotopy properties of "Real" vector bundles is provided, able to take care also of the unstable regime which is usually not accessible via K-theoretical techniques.

Classification of “Quaternionic" Bloch-Bundles

We provide a classification of type AII topological quantum systems in dimension d = 1, 2, 3, 4. Our analysis is based on the construction of a topological invariant, the FKMM-invariant, which…

Controlled Topological Phases and Bulk-edge Correspondence

In this paper, we introduce a variation of the notion of topological phase reflecting metric structure of the position space. This framework contains not only periodic and non-periodic systems with…

Bott Periodicity for $${\mathbb{Z}_2}$$Z2 Symmetric Ground States of Gapped Free-Fermion Systems

Building on the symmetry classification of disordered fermions, we give a proof of the proposal by Kitaev, and others, for a “Bott clock” topological classification of free-fermion ground states of…

Topological invariant for generic one-dimensional time-reversal-symmetric superconductors in class DIII

A one-dimensional time-reversal-symmetric topological superconductor (symmetry class DIII) features a single Kramers pair of Majorana bound states at each of its ends. These holographic…
