Abstract
We introduce the notion of a topological symmetry as a quantum mechanical s
ymmetry involving a certain topological invariant. We obtain the underlying
algebraic structure of the Z(2)-graded uniform topological symmetries of t
ypes (1, 1) and (2, 1). This leads to a novel derivation of the algebras of
supersymmetry and p = 2 parasupersymmetry.
