DESCRIPTION:Prof. Frédéric Mila\, Chair of Condensed Matter Theory\nSoli
 d state physics is often considered to be a solved problem. As long as a c
 rystal is ordered\, isn't the issue just to derive consequences of Bloch t
 heorem? The answer is very clearly no\, and for two fundamental reasons: s
 trong correlations\, and topology. After a general introduction\, I will d
 iscuss a few problems of current interest in the group in which these aspe
 cts combine to yield new quantum phenomena such as the emergence of Majora
 na fermions or the stabilization of chiral quantum liquids.
