A proof of Bott periodicity via Quot schemes and bulk-edge correspondence (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The bulk-edge correspondence refers to the phenomenon typically found in topological insulators, where the topological restriction of the bulk (interior) determines the physical state, such as electric currents, at the edge (boundary). In this talk, we focus on the formulation by G. M. Graf and M. Porta and later by S. Hayashi and provide a new proof of bulk-edge correspondence. It is more direct compared to previous approaches. Behind the proof lies the Bott periodicity of K-theory. The proof of Bott periodicity has been approached from various perspectives. We provide a new proof of Bott periodicity. In the proof, we use Quot schemes in algebraic geometry as configuration spaces.
