Abstract: We define a -valued topological and gauge invariant associated to any 1-dimensional, translation-invariant topological insulator which satisfies either particle-hole symmetry or chiral symmetry. The invariant can be computed from the Berry phase associated to a suitable basis of Bloch functions which is compatible with the symmetries. We compute the invariant in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model for chiral symmetric insulators, and in the Kitaev model for particle-hole symmetric insulators. We show that in both cases the invariant predicts the existence of zero-energy boundary states for the corresponding truncated models.
