From the quantum Hall effect to topological insulators : A theoretical overview of recent fundamental developments in condensed matter physics

In this overview I describe the simplest models for the quantum Hall and quantum spin Hall effects, and give some general indications as to the description of topological insulators. As a background to the theoretical models I will first trace the development leading up to the description of topolog...
