Concepts drawn from topology and differential geometry have become essential to the understanding of several phenomena in condensed matter physics. This book provides a self-consistent introduction to the mathematical ideas and methods from these fields that will enable the student of condensed matter physics to begin applying these concepts with confidence.
As physicists begin to produce models for actual physical phenomena that realise mathematically exotic concepts, and to discover new phases of matter, this book facilitates an understanding of topology and differential geometry that is as timely as it is instructive. This expanded second edition adds eight new chapters, including one on the classification of topological states of topological insulators and superconductors and another on Weyl semimetals, as well as elaborated discussions of the Aharonov-Casher effect, topological magnon insulators, topological superconductors and K-theory.
The book introduces the student of condensed matter physics to the mathematical concepts of topology relevant to their field, conveying the bases for many mathematical concepts whilst avoiding the detailed formality of most mathematically-oriented textbooks. The reader can supplement this practical understanding by consulting the rigorously compiled standard mathematical references included throughout.
