Higher Berry Phase from Projected Entangled Pair States in (2+1) dimensions

Higher Berry Phase from Projected Entangled Pair States in (2+1) dimensions

We consider families of invertible many-body quantum states in $d$ spatial dimensions that are parameterized over some parameter space $X$. The space of such families is expected to have topologically distinct sectors classified by the cohomology group $\mathrm{H}^{d+2}(X;\mathbb{Z})$. These topological sectors are distinguished by a topological invariant built from a …
