Topological phases of matter exhibit Bott-like periodicity with respect to
time-reversal, charge conjugation, and spatial dimension. I will explain how
the non-commutative topology in topological phases originates very generally
from symmetry data, and how operator K-theory provides a powerful and
natural framework for studying them.
