Topological invariants for Standard Model: from semi-metal to topological insulator
Published 2009-12-02, updated 2010-01-18Version 6
We consider topological invariants describing semimetal (gapless) and insulating (gapped) states of the quantum vacuum of Standard Model and possible quantum phase transitions between these states.
