Abstract

We present implementations of the topological K-theory spectra KU and KO in terms of time evolution operators of irreducible free fermion systems with symmetries, with explicit formulas for the structural suspension maps. We also introduce a geometric definition of weakly interacting time evolution operators, and show how associated spectra KUwi and KOwi deformation retract to KU and KO. We thus have a stable homotopy theoretical proof that the tenfold way is stable to weak interactions.
