We introduce a Hamiltonian for fermions on a lattice and prove a theorem regarding its topological properties. We identify the topological criterion as a $\mathbb{Z}_2-$ topological invariant $p(\textbf{k})$ (the Pfaffian polynomial). The…

In the framework of the Cartan classification of Hamiltonians, a kind of topological classification of Fermi surfaces is established in terms of topological charges. The topological charge of a Fermi surface depends on its codimension and…
Partition functions of some two-dimensional statistical models can be represented by means of Grassmann integrals over loops living on two-dimensional torus. It is shown that those Grassmann integrals are topological invariants, which…
Topological Chern indices are related to the number of rotational states in each molecular vibrational band. Modification of the indices is associated to the appearance of ``band degeneracies'', and exchange of rotational states between two…
Topological band insulators are classified using momentum-space topological invariants, such as Chern or winding numbers, when they feature translational symmetry. The lack of translation symmetry in disordered, quasicrystalline, or…
We introduce four, a priori different, notions of topological pressure for possibly discontinuous semiflows acting on compact metric spaces and observe that they all agree with the classical one when restricted to the continuous setting.…
The study of topological property of band insulators is an interesting branch of condensed matter physics. Two types of topologically nontrivial insulators have been extensively studied. The first type is characterized by a nonzero TKNN…

We develop a theory of generalized Hopf invariants in the setting of sectional category. In particular we show how Hopf invariants for a product of fibrations can be identified as shuffle joins of Hopf invariants for the factors. Our…
Concept of the topological order is useful to characterize anisotropic superconductivities. The spin Hall conductance distinguishes superconductivities with the same symmetry. The Chern number for the spin Hall conductance is given by the…
We consider topological closed string theories on Calabi-Yau manifolds which compute superpotential terms in the corresponding compactified type II effective action. In particular, near certain singularities we compare the partition…
Spin states of two-dimensional Wigner clusters are considered at low temperatures, when all electrons are in ground coordinate states. The spin subsystem behavior is determined by antiferromagnetic exchange integrals. The spin states in…
The 2d O(3) model is widely used as a toy model for ferromagnetism and for Quantum Chromodynamics. With the latter it shares --- among other basic aspects --- the property that the continuum functional integral splits into topological…
The existence of bound states induced by local impurities coupled to an insulating host depends decisively on the global topological properties of the host's electronic structure. In this context, we consider magnetic impurities modelled as…
Topological superconductors are characterized by topological invariants that describe the number and nature of their robust boundary modes. These invariants must also have observable consequences in the bulk of the system, akin to the…
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…
Chern number is a crucial invariant for characterizing topological feature of two-dimensional quantum systems. Real-space Chern number allows us to extract topological properties of systems without involving translational symmetry, and…
