Some questions about the edge states for time-reversal invariant topological superconductors?
Stimulated by my some recent calculations on edge states(ES) for time-reversal invariant(TRI) topological superconductors(TS) as well as many questions concerning the "edge states" in Physics ...

Topological band theory [closed]
Why topological insulators were discovered so late? While the band theory was known long time ago! I mean why the topological properties of electronic bands were not noticed in the past?

Intuition on topologically nontrivial 2D-band structures?
I want to get more intuition on topologically nontrivial band structures.
There's this popular 2D two-band model for a topological insulator
where $H=\sum_{k}h(\boldsymbol{k})$ (see Qi, Hughes, and ...

Counterexamples to the bulk-boundary correspondence (topological insulators)
In the literature on topological insulators and superconductors the 'bulk-boundary correspondence' features quite heavily. One version of this conjecture says roughly: "At an interface between two ...
