Abstract

We consider the classification problem of symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases on quantum spin systems. SPT phases are gapped short-range-entangled quantum phases with a symmetry GG. We explain that in one and two-dimensional quantum spin systems, there are H2(G,U(1))H^{2}(G, U(1))/ H3(G,U(1))H^{3}(G, U(1))-valued invariant, confirming a physicists conjecture.
