This new edition presents a unified description of these
insulators from one to three dimensions based on the modified
Dirac equation. It derives a series of solutions of the bound
states near the boundary, and describes the current status of
these solutions. Readers are introduced to topological invariants
and their applications to a variety of systems from
one-dimensional polyacetylene, to two-dimensional quantum spin
Hall effect and p-wave superconductors, three-dimensional
topological insulators and superconductors or superfluids, and
topological Weyl semimetals, helping them to better understand
this fascinating field.

To reflect research advances in topological insulators, several
parts of the book have been updated for the second edition,
including: Spin-Triplet Superconductors, Superconductivity in
Doped Topological Insulators, Detection of Majorana Fermions and
so on. In particular, the book features a new chapter on Weyl
semimetals, a topic that has attracted considerable attention and
has already become a new hotpot of research in the
community.
