Objectives
1 We plan to establish a theory for topological classification and stability of gapless modes including Fermi-surfaces of Majorana fermions. 2 We intend to look into topological features in nonlinear-sigma-model of disordered Wyel semi-metals and develop a quantum gauge field theory of the semi-metals. In addition, we attempt to propose experimental schemes to simulate them with cold atoms.
