Three Lectures On Topological Phases Of Matter
read the original abstract
These notes are based on lectures at the PSSCMP/PiTP summer school that was held at Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study in July, 2015. They are devoted largely to topological phases of matter that can be understood in terms of free fermions and band theory. They also contain an introduction to the fractional quantum Hall effect from the point of view of effective field theory.

Chern classes of Laughlin bundles on the quasihole moduli space
Constructs Laughlin bundles on quasihole moduli spaces, computes Chern characters via GRR, shows projective flatness for filled states, generalizes to multi-layer cases, and verifies explicit wavefunctions match Berry...

Chern classes of Laughlin bundles on the quasihole moduli space
Constructs Laughlin bundles over the m-quasihole symmetric power of a curve, derives their Chern characters via GRR, establishes projective flatness in the filled case, and verifies the classes reproduce the Aharonov-...

Engineering of Anyons on M5-Probes via Flux Quantization
Flux quantization of the M5-brane tensor field in twisted Cohomotopy yields Pontrjagin homology observables that reproduce abelian Chern-Simons theory and braid actions on defect anyons.

Algebraic Realisation of the Zamolodchikov Metric in Narain Theories
The Zamolodchikov metric in Narain CFTs is realized using the Cartan matrix K_g and its inverse from finite-dimensional Lie algebras g.

Boundary Condition Analysis of First and Second Order Topological Insulators
Derives dispersion relations for edge and hinge states from boundary conditions on Dirac lattice models and shows that nontrivial topology of a gapped edge state ensures a gapless hinge state.
