The aim is to use mathematical scattering theory to find and study new topological features of the spectra of linear transformations on Hilbert space. The significance derives from mathematical models of low temperature conducting quantum materials. These have revealed `topological phases of matter' that are stable with respect to a range of variations in the parameters that determine the system. The stability is desired for applications to quantum devices. Our results will give topological stability from the scattering spectrum, a feature not previously seen. The benefits stem from new results in mathematical scattering theory with a primary novelty being the analysis of ``zero energy resonances'' in mathematical models of graphene.Read moreRead less
