The spin and integer quantum Hall effects are two cousins of topological phase transitions in two-dimensional electronic systems. Their close relationship makes it possible to transform spin to integer quantum Hall effect in two-dimensional…

Symmetry-protected topological $\left(SPT\right)$ phases are gapped short-range entangled states with symmetry $G$, which can be systematically described by group cohomology theory. $SU(3)$ and $SU(2)\times{U(1)}$ are considered as the…

Topological phases of matter are described universally by topological field theories in the same way that symmetry-breaking phases of matter are described by Landau-Ginzburg field theories. We propose that topological insulators in two and…
