IST Press published the eBook “Topologia em Matéria Condensada: Uma Introdução”, by Miguel Araújo and Pedro Sacramento.

This book gathers the basic theoretical concepts of Topology in Condensed Matter, providing advanced students or researchers with knowledge that allows them to access specialised literature.

The book includes the basic concepts on the classification of topological properties, namely, the symmetries and main topological invariants.

Three classes of fermionic systems are discussed, in particular, insulating, superconducting and topological semimetals; spin systems; photonic systems; non equilibrium thermodynamics, including topological Floquet systems. Quantum information methods are also presented in the context of topological systems.

The first chapters include examples and exercises, to better understand the subjects.

The book can be purchased online (IST Press online store).
