We present a method for efficiently enumerating all allowed, topologically distinct, electronic band structures within a given crystal structure. The algorithm applies to crystals with broken time-reversal, particle-hole, and chiral…

We use the Serre-Godeaux varieties of finite groups, projective representation theory, the twisted Atiyah-Segal completion theorem, and our previous work on the topological period-index problem to compute the etale index of Brauer classes…

We construct a relative version of topological $K$-theory of dg categories over an arbitrary quasi-compact, quasi-separated $\mathbb{C}$-scheme $X$. This has as input a $\text{Perf}(X)$-linear stable $\infty$-category and output a sheaf of…

In this paper, we develop twisted $K$-theory for stacks, where the twisted class is given by an $S^1$-gerbe over the stack. General properties, including the Mayer-Vietoris property, Bott periodicity, and the product structure $K^i_\alpha…

In this paper, we study Azumaya algebras and Brauer groups in derived algebraic geometry. We establish various fundamental facts about Brauer groups in this setting, and we provide a computational tool, which we use to compute the Brauer…

We study twisted vector bundles of infinite rank on gerbes, giving a new spin on Grothendieck's famous problem on the equality of the Brauer group and cohomological Brauer group. We show that the relaxed version of the question has an…

Using twisted and formal-local methods, we prove that every separated algebraic space which is the (open/flat) pushout of affine schemes has enough Azumaya algebras. As a corollary we show that, under mild hypothesis, every cohomological…

We introduce a twisted version of $K$-theory with coefficients in a $C^*$-algebra $A$, where the twist is given by a new kind of gerbe, which we call Morita bundle gerbe. We use the description of twisted $K$-theory in the torsion case by…

While the classification of non-interacting crystalline topological insulator phases by equivariant K-theory has become widely accepted, its generalization to anyonic interacting phases -- hence to phases with topologically ordered ground…

We study twisted $Spin^c$-manifolds over a paracompact Hausdorff space $X$ with a twisting $\alpha: X \to K(\ZZ, 3)$. We introduce the topological index and the analytical index on the bordism group of $\alpha$-twisted $Spin^c$-manifolds…

Let $X$ be a smooth variety over a field $K$ with function field $K(X)$. Using the interpretation of the torsion part of the \'etale cohomology group $H_{\text{\'et}}^2(K(X), \mathbb{G}_m)$ in terms of Milnor-Quillen algebraic $K$-group…

For an Azumaya algebra $A$ which is free over its centre $R$, we prove that the $K$-theory of $A$ is isomorphic to $K$-theory of $R$ up to its rank torsion. We observe that a graded central simple algebra, graded by an abelian group, is a…
