Construction of bosonic symmetry-protected-trivial states and their topological invariants via G x SO(∞) nonlinear σ

It has been shown that the bosonic symmetry-protected-trivial (SPT) phases with pure gauge anomalous boundary can all be realized via nonlinear σ models (NLσMs) of the symmetry group G with various topological terms. Those SPT phases (called the pure SPT phases) can be classified by group cohomology...
