One of the hallmarks of topological insulators is the correspondence between the value of its bulk topological invariant and the number of topologically protected edge modes observed in a finite-sized sample. This bulk-boundary…

We consider two-dimensional (2d) quantum many-body systems with long-range orders, where the only gapless excitations in the spectrum are Goldstone modes of spontaneously broken continuous symmetries. To understand the interplay between…

We establish a criterion for the flatness of a principal circle bundle in terms of the intrinsically harmonic form problem. It states that the flatness is equivalent to the intrinsic harmonicity of a certain natural associated form.

We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part (arXiv:2501.15657), we discused…

There are several different common definitions of a property in topological dynamics called "topological transitivity," and it is part of the folklore of dynamical systems that under reasonable hypotheses, they are equivalent. Various…

We slightly extend the notion of a natural fibre bundle by requiring diffeomorphisms of the base to lift to automorphisms of the bundle only infinitesimally, i.e. at the level of the Lie algebra of vector fields. Spin structures are natural…

We introduce a notion of topological quandle. Given a topological quandle $Q$ we associate to every classical link $L$ in $\R ^3$ an invariant $J_Q(L)$ which is a topological space (defined up to a homeomorphism). The space $J_Q(L)$ can be…
