We review the construction of the spectral localiser (due to Loring and Schulz-Baldes) from a K-theoretic perspective. We first give a K-theoretic argument providing a spectral flow expression for the even or odd index pairing in terms of…
The spectral localizer is a predictive framework for the computation of topological invariants of natural and artificial materials. Here, three crucial improvements on the criterion for the validity of the framework are reported: first,…
The notion of spectral localizer is extended to pairings with semifinite spectral triples. By a spectral flow argument, any semifinite index pairing is shown to be equal to the signature of the spectral localizer. As an application, a…
Topological phases of gapped one-particle Hamiltonians with (anti)-unitary symmetries are classified by strong topological invariants according to the Altland-Zirnbauer table. Those indices are still well-defined in the regime of strong…
Odd index pairings of $K_1$-group elements with Fredholm modules are of relevance in index theory, differential geometry and applications such as to topological insulators. For the concrete setting of operators on a Hilbert space over a…
Short-ranged and line-gapped non-hermitian Hamiltonians have strong topological invariants given by an index of an associated Fredholm operator. It is shown how these invariants can be accessed via the signature of a suitable spectral…
Recently, the spectral localizer framework has emerged as an efficient approach to classifying topology in photonic systems featuring local nonlinearities and radiative environments. In nonlinear systems, this framework provides rigorous…
Even index pairings are integer-valued homotopy invariants combining an even Fredholm module with a $K_0$-class specified by a projection. Numerous classical examples are known from differential and non-commutative geometry and physics.…
Nonlinear topological insulators have garnered substantial recent attention as they have both enabled the discovery of new physics due to interparticle interactions, and may have applications in photonic devices such as topological lasers…
We describe the index pairing between an odd K-theory class and an odd unbounded Kasparov module by a pair of quasi-projections, supported on a submodule obtained from a finite spectral truncation. We achieve this by pairing the K-theory…
Periodically driven systems offer a perfect breeding ground for out-of-equilibrium engineering of topological boundary states at zero energy ($0$-mode), as well as finite energy ($\pi$-mode), with the latter having no static analog. The…
The standard understanding of topological protection from band theory is that a system's topology cannot change without first closing the bulk band gap. However, in Floquet systems, this typical definition of topological protection is one…
Spectral invariants are quantitative measurements in symplectic topology coming from Floer homology theory. We study their dependence on the choice of coefficients in the context of Hamiltonian Floer homology. We discover phenomena in this…
We develop a framework for the classification of invertible translation-invariant stabilizer codes modulo condensation and stabilization with simple codes. We introduce generalizations of the Pauli groups of local unitaries for quantum…
Higher-order topology is prized for its ability to realize lower-dimensional boundary states which are stable beyond fine-tuning. However, disorder presents a failure mechanism that can destroy topological in-gap states. Here, we…
Two recent papers proved that complex index pairings can be calculated as the half-signature of a finite dimensional matrix, called the spectral localizer. This paper contains a new proof of this connection for even index pairings based on…
Topological insulators are described by topological invariants that can be computed by integrals over momentum space, but also as traces over local, real-space topological markers. These markers are useful to detect topological insulating…
We elaborate on a geometric characterization of the electromagnetic properties of matter. A fundamental complex quantity, z_{L}, is introduced to study the localization properties of extended quantum systems. z_L, which allows us to…
We study equivariant localization formulas for phase space path integrals when the phase space is a multiply connected compact Riemann surface. We consider the Hamiltonian systems to which the localization formulas are applicable and show…
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…
