Bott-Kitaev Periodic Table and the Diagonal Map
R. Kennedy, M. R. Zirnbauer
Building on the 10-way symmetry classification of disordered fermions, the authors have recently given a homotopy-theoretic proof of Kitaev's "Periodic Table" for topological insul…

Bott periodicity for symmetric ground states of gapped free-fermion systems
Ricardo Kennedy, Martin R. Zirnbauer
Building on the symmetry classification of disordered fermions, we give a proof of the proposal by Kitaev, and others, for a "Bott clock" topological classification of free-fermion…
