Internal-symmetry homotopy classification conjecture for topological phases
Internal-symmetry homotopy classification conjecture for topological phases
Let be an internal symmetry group, let be its classifying space, and let denote the space classifying -dimensional topological phases. The classifying space is, up to homotopy equivalence, , where is any contractible space with a free action of .
Internal-symmetry classification conjecture. The classification of SPT or SET topological phases in dimensions with internal symmetry is given by homotopy classes of maps
The paper presents this as a starting assumption and notes that it has appeared previously in several forms. Its resolution is not stated in the supplied text.
