Bulk and Boundary Invariants for Complex Topological Insulators From K-Theory to Physics /

This monograph offers an overview of rigorous results on fermionic topological insulators from the complex classes, namely, those without symmetries or with just a chiral symmetry. Particular focus is on the stability of the topological invariants in the presence of strong disorder, on the interplay...
