Topological Gapped Phases of Matter: Band Theory to Fractional Chern Insulators

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Topology has driven the prediction and classification of quantum states of matter in the last several decades. Here we review its basic formulation from the perspective of band theory, space group symmetry, and quantum geometry. Our aim is to convey the conceptual development of the field from the current vantage point of topological materials, along with practical formulae, example models, and an overview of ongoing research.
