Title:
A topological world: From topological phases of quantum matter to the origin of elementary particles.

Speaker:
Zheng-Cheng Gu

Abstract:
In this talk, I will give an introduction for topological phases of quantum matter. In particular, I will describe the mathematical foundation of 3+1D symmetry protected topological(SPT) phases and their corresponding classification schemes in interacting fermion systems. If time permits, I will also mention a potential new understanding for the origin of elementary particles.
