Absolute and relative invariants for low-dimensional topological insulators

[An extended abstract is provided in-text] Motivated by topological insulators, this paper analyzes classification schemes for projection-valued maps on $d$-dimensional tori, $d \le 2$, subject to Altland-Zirnbauer-Cartan (AZC) symmetries (time-reversal, particle-hole, and chiral). The main objective is to compare thre...
