Titre |
The non-commutative topological approach to topological phases with protecting symmetry |
Résumé |
In this talk we review the K-theoretic description of topological phases of
insulators and superconductors in the effective one particle approximation. In
that approximation, an insulator (or superconductor) is described by a Hamiltonian
whose spectrum has a gap at the Fermi energy. Two Hamiltonians belong to the same
topological phase if they can be deformed into each other without closing the gap.
For this to be well-defined, it is important to specify the space of possible
Hamiltonians with its topology. When this space is taken to be a C*-algebra
equipped with a real structure and a grading, one can use real graded K-theory and
its dual (K-homology or cyclic cohomology) to describe the topological phases and
their numerical topological invariants. |
