dc.subject | Crystalline band insulators are described in the low temperature regime by a tightbinding model. A mathematically precise notion of topological equivalence of tightbinding models for insulators is formulated in terms of homotopy classes of maps. We review topological classifications of insulators in terms of homotopy and cohomology. | |
