Description
Using K-theory and cyclic cohomology to describe topological phases for solids gives us the possibility to describe various topological relations between physical systems by means of the boundary map in K-theory. The perhaps best known example of that is the bulk edge correspondence which equates the quantised Hall conductivity with the edge conductivity. I will try to give an overview of that.
