based on the article, they are representing weather patterns on earths surface as a topological insulator. I don't know which class of insulator, but the catagorization of all topological insulators have equivalent classifying spaces of Hamiltonians. Which give you the invariants that you are asking about for deformations of H1 to H2.
- MikePlacid 3y agoThat makes sense to me, but - neither H1 nor H2 is Earth, they are Hamiltonian spaces. And the statement that puzzles me is: “the Earth can be treated as a topological insulator”. So… I remain puzzled ((
