TLDR
In this article, the structure of semisimplepleasure Lie groups and Lie algebras is studied. But the classification of simple Lie algesbras and of symmetric spaces is left open.

The Geometry of Algorithms with Orthogonality Constraints

TL;DR: The theory proposed here provides a taxonomy for numerical linear algebra algorithms that provide a top level mathematical view of previously unrelated algorithms and developers of new algorithms and perturbation theories will benefit from the theory.

Paired states of fermions in two dimensions with breaking of parity and time-reversal symmetries and the fractional quantum Hall effect

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the pairing of fermions in two dimensions for fully gapped cases with broken parity (P) and time reversal (T), especially cases in which the gap function is an orbital angular momentum (l) eigenstate.

Nonabelian Bosonization in Two-Dimensions

TL;DR: In this article, a non-abelian generalization of the usual formulas for bosonization of fermions in 1+1 dimensions is presented, which is equivalent to a local bose theory which manifestly possesses all the symmetries of the fermi theory.

Classification of topological quantum matter with symmetries

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the classification schemes of both fully gapped and gapless topological materials is presented, and a pedagogical introduction to the field of topological band theory is given.
