We consider the Haldane model, a 2D topological insulator whose phase is defined by the Chern number. We study its phases as temperature varies by means of the Uhlmann number, a finite temperature generalization of the Chern number. Because…
Topological invariants are global properties of the ground-state wave function, typically defined as winding numbers in reciprocal space. Over the years, a number of topological markers in real space have been introduced, allowing to map…
Torsion sensitive intersection homology was introduced to unify several versions of Poincare duality for stratified spaces into a single theorem. This unified duality theorem holds with ground coefficients in an arbitrary PID and with no…
