SUMMARY:Topological Phases in Transition Metal Oxides\, R. G. Herb Con
 densed Matter Seminar\, Gregory A. Fiete\, University of Texas at Aust
 in
DESCRIPTION:Topological phases of matter have received intense interes
 t over the past few years due to the experimental discovery of time-re
 versal invariant topological insulators (TI) in two and three dimensio
 ns. To date\, the materials where TI have been reported are weakly int
 eracting and most (if not all) have been previously predicted with sim
 ple band theory or density functional theory. The fate of TI in the pr
 esence of interactions remains an open area of theoretical and experim
 ental study. In this talk\, I will describe some of our theoretical ef
 forts directed at the discovery and understanding of interacting topol
 ogical phases in real materials. Some of the most promising platforms 
 for experimental realization of these phases are transition metal oxid
 es and heterostructures derived from them.
