Symmetry Protected Topological Phases - IPAM at UCLA

Explore the fascinating world of symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases in this comprehensive lecture delivered by Xie Chen from the California Institute of Technology. Recorded on September 2, 2021, as part of IPAM's Graduate Summer School on Mathematics of Topological Phases of Matter at UCLA, this 91-minute presentation offers a concise introduction to SPT phases across one, two, and three dimensions. Delve into concrete examples and models that illustrate these complex concepts, and gain insight into their relationship with group cohomology. Whether you're a graduate student or a researcher in the field of topological matter, this talk provides valuable knowledge to enhance your understanding of this cutting-edge area of physics and mathematics.
