Quantitative mappings between symmetry and topology in solids

Quantitative mappings between symmetry and topology in solids

The defining quantities of topological materials—the topological invariants—are often difficult to calculate. Here, Song et al. report a simplified method to calculate both the symmetry data and the topological invariants for arbitrary gapped band structure with time-reversal symmetry.
