What changed
Expressed gapped filled-band Hall conductance as an integer topological invariant.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact four-author 1982 Physical Review Letters paper. It does not absorb the experimental integer quantum Hall effect, Hofstadter's spectrum, Haldane's zero-net-flux model or later topological-insulator theory.
