Universal Wave-Function Overlap and Universal Topological Data from Generic Gapped Ground States

We propose a way—universal wave-function overlap—to extract universal topological data from generic ground states of gapped systems in any dimensions. Those extracted topological data might fully characterize the topological orders with a gapped or gapless boundary. For nonchiral topological orders...
