Invertible phases for mixed spatial symmetries and the fermionic crystalline equivalence principle
@inproceedings{Debray2021InvertiblePF, title={Invertible phases for mixed spatial symmetries and the fermionic crystalline equivalence principle}, author={Arun Debray}, year={2021} }
Freed-Hopkins give a mathematical ansatz for classifying gapped invertible phases of matter with a spatial symmetry in terms of Borel-equivariant generalized homology. We propose a slight generalization of this ansatz to account for cases where the symmetry type mixes nontrivially with the spatial symmetry, such as crystalline phases with spin-1/2 fermions. From this ansatz, we prove as a theorem a"fermionic crystalline equivalence principle,"as predicted in the physics literature. Using this…

We present a general approach to obtain effective field theories for topological crystalline insulators whose low-energy theories are described by massive Dirac fermions. We show that these phases…

In this paper, we derive the explicit formula for higher cup products on hypercubic lattices, based on the recently developed geometrical interpretation on the simplicial complexes. We illustrate how…

Kreck’s modified surgery theory reduces the classification of closed, connected 4-manifolds, up to connect sum with some number of copies of S2 × S2, to a series of bordism questions. We implement…
