A Z2-index of symmetry protected topological phases with time reversal symmetry for quantum spin chains

Abstract

We introduce a Z2-index for time reversal invariant Hamiltonians with unique gapped ground state on quantum spin chains. We show this is an invariant of a C1-classification of gapped Hamiltonians.
