Abstract: Lately, methods of stable homotopy theory have been employed in the classification of so-called "invertible" phases of condensed matter. We shall discuss what phases of condensed matter are. How to model them by topological field theories, and how the classification of invertible topological field theories are reduced to the computation of homotopy classes of maps between spectra.
