Mathematical Approach to Topological Phases in Spintronics

Date: October 5th to 9th, 2015
Place: Tohoku Forum for Creativity, Tohoku University
http://www.tfc.tohoku.ac.jp/

Aim: Recent insights in the deep connection between the physics of
Topological
Insulators and the Atiyah�Singer Index Theorem inspire Mathematicians and
Mathematical Physicists by the implied rich potential for discovery of new
topological
phases and need for their mathematical description. We will gather an
interdisciplinary
group of leading researchers to explore this space and discuss prospects and
directions
for further developments. We specially target a mathematical framework for
the
bulk-edge correspondence of interacting systems as well as topological
phases of
disordered systems.
