Symmetry-protected topological invariants of symmetry-protected topological phases of interacting bosons and fermions

Recently, it was realized that quantum states of matter can be classified as long-range entangled states (i.e., with nontrivial topological order) and short-range entangled states (i.e., with trivial topological order). We can use group cohomology class H[superscript d](SG,R/Z) to systematically des...
