Abstract

The integer conductances in the quantum Hall effect are related to topological invariants known as Chern numbers. A different interpretation relates them to invariants known as Fredholm indices. I will give a tutorial and an introduction to the Fredholm Index interpretation of the integers in the Quantum Hall Effect.
