We give the definition and explore the algebraic structure of a class of quantum symmetries, called topological symmetries, which are generalizations of supersymmetry in the sense that they involve topological invariants similar to the…
We introduce two dimensional fermionic band models with two orbitals per lattice site, or one spinful orbital, and which have a non-zero topological Chern number that can be changed by varying the ratio of hopping parameters. A…
In this paper, we discuss the characteristic features of one-dimensional topological insulators with inversion symmetry but noncentered inversion axis in the unit cell, for any choice of the unit cell. In these systems, the global inversion…
We construct time reversal invariant topological superconductors and superfluids in two and three dimensions which are analogous to the recently discovered quantum spin Hall and three-d $Z_2$ topological insulators respectively. These…

We present a class of three dimensional (3D) two-band Floquet topological insulators constructed from two-dimensional Floquet topological insulators with a $Z$ topological index. It is shown that the 3D two-band Floquet topological…
We investigate spin transport in 2-dimensional insulators, with the long-term goal of establishing whether any of the transport coefficients corresponds to the Fu-Kane-Mele index which characterizes 2d time-reversal-symmetric topological…
We predict the existence of a novel Floquet topological insulator in three-dimensional two-band systems, the Floquet Hopf insulator, which possesses two distinct topological invariants. One is the Hopf $\mathbb{Z}$ invariant, a linking…
For the flip action of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ on an $n$-dimensional noncommutative torus $A_\theta,$ using an exact sequence by Natsume, we compute the K-theory groups of $A_\theta \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2$. The novelty of our method is that it also…
Topological insulator(TI) is a phase of matter discovered recently. Kane and Mele proposed this phase is distinguished from the ordinary band insulator by a Z2 topological invariant.2 Several authors have try to related this Z2 invariant to…
After introducing a noncommutative counterpart of commutative algebraic geometry based on monoidal categories of quasi-coherent sheaves we show that various constructions in noncommutative geometry (e.g. Morita equivalences, Hopf-Galois…
We show that the Ginsparg-Wilson (GW) relation can play an important role to define chiral structures in {\it finite} noncommutative geometries. Employing GW relation, we can prove the index theorem and construct topological invariants even…
Equivalence classes of gapped Hamiltonians compatible with given symmetry constraints, such as those underlying topological insulators, can be defined in many ways. For the non-chiral classes modelled by vector bundles over Brillouin tori,…
We show how to define a dynamical topological invariant for general one-dimensional topological systems after a quantum quench. Focusing on two-band topological insulators, we demonstrate that the reduced momentum-time manifold can be…
Given an abelian category and a stability condition satisfying appropriate conditions, we define generalized $K$-theoretic invariants and prove that they satisfy wall-crossing formulas. For this, we introduce a new associative algebra…
We develop a topological classification of non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonians that depend on momentum and frequency. Such effective Hamiltonians are in one-to-one correspondence to single-particle Green's functions of systems that satisfy…

We survey some aspects of the theory of noncommutative manifolds focusing on the noncommutative analogs of two-dimensional tori and low-dimensional spheres. We are particularly interested in those aspects of the theory that link the…
This article is a tribute to the memory of Professor Enzo Martinelli, with deep respect and reconesance. Nicolae Teleman. The index formula is a local statement made on global and local data; for this reason we introduce local Alexander -…
Time-reversal symmetric topological insulator is a novel state of matter that a bulk-insulating state carries dissipationless spin transport along the surfaces, embedded by the $Z_2$ topological invariant. In the noninteracting limit, this…
