Already the last decade has
witnessed unprecedented progress in the collection of cosmological data.
Presently proposed and designed future cosmological probes and surveys permit
us to anticipate the upcoming avalanche of cosmological information during the
next decades.

The increase of valuable observations needs to be accompanied with the development
of efficient and accurate information processing technology in order to analyse
and interpret this data. In particular, cosmography projects, aiming at studying

In
this talk, I will construct a symmetry protected topological phase of bosons in
3d with particle number conservation and time reversal symmetries, which is the
direct bosonic analogue of the familiar electron topological insulator. The
construction employs a parton decomposition of bosons, followed by condensation
of parton-monopole composites. The surface of the resulting state supports a
gapped symmetry respecting phase with intrinsic toric code topological order
where both e and m anyons carry charge 1=2.
