This serves to illustrate the mechanism behind the bulk-edge principle without the overhead of the more general proofs which are available. We also give a new formula for the \\mathbb{Z}_{2}-index of our time-reversal invariant systems inspired by Moore and Balents.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-29T17:08:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bulk-edge correspondence", "simple cases", "time-reversal invariant systems", "symmetry classes", "bulk-edge principle" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
