This course-based primer provides newcomers to the field with a
concise introduction to some of the core topics in the emerging
field of topological insulators. The aim is to provide a basic
understanding of edge states, bulk topological invariants, and of
the bulk--boundary correspondence with as simple mathematical tools
as possible. The present approach uses noninteracting lattice
models of topological insulators, building gradually on these to
arrive from the simplest one-dimensional case (the
Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model for polyacetylene) to two-dimensional
time-reversal invariant topological insulators (the
Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model for HgTe). In each case the discussion
of simple toy models is followed by the formulation of the general
arguments regarding topological insulators. The only prerequisite
for the reader is a working knowledge in quantum mechanics, the
relevant solid state physics background is provided as part of this
self-contained text, which is complemented by end-of-chapter
problems.
