Interacting fermionic symmetry-protected topological phases in two dimensions

Chenjie Wang, Chien‐Hung Lin, Zheng‐Cheng Gu

Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases (e.g., the well known topological insulators) are a class of energetically gapped condensed matter systems that exhibit interesting topological properties only in the presence of certain global symmetries. While a great understanding of noninteracting fermionic SPT phases has been achieved recently, interacting SPT phases, in particular those that exist only in strongly interacting systems, are much less understood in general. Here, the authors study strongly interacting fermionic SPT phases in two spatial dimensions with finite Abelian unitary symmetries and provide a potentially complete classification of them.
