Particular focus is on the stability of the topological invariants in the presence of strong disorder, on the interplay between the bulk and boundary invariants and on their dependence on magnetic fields. The first part presents motivating examples and the conjectures put forward by the physics community, together with a brief review of the experimental achievements. The second part develops an operator algebraic approach for the study of disordered topological insulators. This leads naturally to use analysis tools from K-theory and non-commutative geometry, such as cyclic cohomology, quantized calculus with Fredholm modules and index pairings. New results include a generalized Streda formula and a proof of the delocalized nature of surface states in topological insulators with non-trivial invariants. The concluding chapter connects the invariants to measurable quantities and thus presents a refined physical characterization of the complex topological insulators. This book is intended for advanced students in mathematical physics and researchers alike.Mathematical Physics Studies,0921-3767PhysicsK-theoryMathematical physicsSolid state physicsMathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013K-Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11086Mathematical Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000Solid State Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25013Physics.K-theory.Mathematical physics.Solid state physics.Mathematical Methods in Physics.K-Theory.Mathematical Physics.Solid State Physics.514.23Prodan Emilauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut803691Schulz-Baldes Hermannauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254620103321Bulk and Boundary Invariants for Complex Topological Insulators2531399UNINA
