Abstract

In this chapter, we introduce the theory of Topological Quantum Chemistry. Within this formalism, we can predict the presence or absence of topological phases by studying the behavior of orbitals lying in some special positions of the crystal. Throughout the chapter, we analyze and study the main concepts of the theory following a well-known example, graphene.
