69 DIII invariant with inversion symmetry In the end of the day, the invariant is given by ν = α:occ ξ α (0)ξ α (π) where the product is over all occupied bands, such that each Kramers pair contribute once to the product (both partners have the same eigenvalue due to time-reversal symmetry). Inversion symmetry simplifies the invariant, only knowledge about the real momenta is necessary to determine if the system is in a topological phase!
70 D invariant with inversion symmetry The invariant in the DIII case with inversion: ν = α:occ ξ α (0)ξ α (π) where the product is over all occupied bands, such that each Kramers pair contribute once to the product (both partners have the same eigenvalue due to time-reversal symmetry).
71 D invariant with inversion symmetry The invariant in the DIII case with inversion: ν = α:occ ξ α (0)ξ α (π) where the product is over all occupied bands, such that each Kramers pair contribute once to the product (both partners have the same eigenvalue due to time-reversal symmetry). h 0 A D invariant is obtained by going to class DIII: H = 0 h and take the product over the bands of h, which is in class D, so the bands are not Kramers degenerate: ν = ξ α (0)ξ α (π) α:occ
72 D invariant with inversion symmetry The invariant in the DIII case with inversion: ν = α:occ ξ α (0)ξ α (π) where the product is over all occupied bands, such that each Kramers pair contribute once to the product (both partners have the same eigenvalue due to time-reversal symmetry). h 0 A D invariant is obtained by going to class DIII: H = 0 h and take the product over the bands of h, which is in class D, so the bands are not Kramers degenerate: ν = ξ α (0)ξ α (π) α:occ This relation can also be exploited for 2d systems with inversion symmetry in class A (QAH), and relate them to class AII.
73 Conclusion We reinterpreted Kitaev s Majorana invariant in terms of a Zak-Berry phase (charge polarization) We constructed the topological invariant of 1D superconductors in class DIII We used the invariant to study a toy-model with p- & s-wave pairing and spin-orbit coupling We considered the effect of inversion symmetry, simplifying the DIII invariant and giving a simple invariant for class D
