It is demonstrated by explicit construction that three-dimensional bosonic crystalline symmetry protected topological (cSPT) phases are classified by ${H}_{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{5}(G;\mathbb{Z})\ensuremath{\bigoplus}{H}_{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{1}(G;\mathbb{Z})$ for all 230 space groups
G, where ${H}_{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{n}(G;\mathbb{Z})$ denotes the
nth twisted group cohomology of
G with
Z coefficients, and $\ensuremath{\phi}$ indicates that $g\ensuremath{\in}G$ acts nontrivially on coefficients by sending them to their inverses if
g reverses space-time orientation and acts trivially otherwise. The previously known summand ${H}_{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{5}(G;\mathbb{Z})$ corresponds only to crystalline phases built without the
E8 state or its multiples on 2-cells of space. It is the crystalline analog of the ``group cohomology proposal'' for classifying bosonic symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases, which takes the form ${H}_{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{d+2}(G;\mathbb{Z})\ensuremath{\cong}{H}_{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{d+1}(G;\text{U}(1))$ for finite internal symmetry groups in
d spatial dimensions. The new summand ${H}_{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{1}(G;\mathbb{Z})$ classifies possible configurations of
E8 states on 2-cells that can be used to build crystalline phases beyond the group cohomology proposal. The completeness of our classification and the physical meaning of ${H}_{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{1}(G;\mathbb{Z})$ are established through a combination of dimensional reduction, surface topological order, and explicit cellular construction. The value of ${H}_{\ensuremath{\phi}}^{1}(G;\mathbb{Z})$ can be easily read off from the international symbol for
G. Our classification agrees with the prediction of the ``generalized cohomology hypothesis,'' which concerns the general structure of the classification of SPT phases, and therefore provides strong evidence for the validity of the said hypothesis in the realm of crystalline symmetries.
It has been shown that the bosonic symmetry-protected-trivial (SPT) phases with pure gauge anomalous boundary can all be realized via nonlinear $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ models $(\mathrm{NL}\ensuremath{\sigma}\mathrm{Ms})$ of the symmetry group
G with various topological terms. Those SPT phases (called the pure SPT phases) can be classified by group cohomology
Hd(G,R/Z). But there are also SPT phases with mixed gauge-gravity anomalous boundary (which will be called the mixed SPT phases). Some of the mixed SPT states were also referred as the beyond-group-cohomology SPT states. In this paper, we show that those beyond-group-cohomology SPT states are actually within another type of group cohomology classification. More precisely, we show that both the pure and the mixed SPT phases can be realized by $G\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}SO(\ensuremath{\infty}) \mathrm{NL}\ensuremath{\sigma}\mathrm{Ms}$ with various topological terms. Through the group cohomology ${\mathcal{H}}^{d}[G\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}SO(\ensuremath{\infty}),\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}]$, we find that the set of our constructed SPT phases in
d-dimensional space-time are described by ${E}^{d}(G)\ensuremath{\rtimes}{\ensuremath{\bigoplus}}_{k=1}^{d\ensuremath{-}1}{\mathcal{H}}^{k}(G,{\text{iTO}}_{L}^{d\ensuremath{-}k})\ensuremath{\bigoplus}{\mathcal{H}}^{d}(G,\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})$ where
G may contain time reversal. Here
iTOLd is the set of the topologically ordered phases in
d-dimensional space-time that have no topological excitations, and one has
iTOL1=iTOL2=iTOL4=iTOL6=0,iTOL3=Z,iTOL5=Z2,iTOL7=2Z. For $G=U(1)\ensuremath{\rtimes}{Z}_{2}^{T}$ (charge conservation and time-reversal symmetry), we find that the mixed SPT phases beyond ${\mathcal{H}}^{d}[U(1)\ensuremath{\rtimes}{Z}_{2}^{T},\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}]$ are described by
Z2 in 3 + 1D,
Z in 4 + 1D,
3Z2 in 5 + 1D, and
4Z2 in 6 + 1D. Our construction also gives us the topological invariants that fully characterize the corresponding SPT and iTO phases. Through several examples, we show how the universal physical properties of SPT phases can be obtained from those topological invariants.

Those SPT phases (called the pure SPT phases) can be classified by group cohomology H[superscript d](G,R/Z). But there are also SPT phases with mixed gauge-gravity anomalous boundary (which will be called the mixed SPT phases). Some of the mixed SPT states were also referred as the beyond-group-cohomology SPT states. In this paper, we show that those beyond-group-cohomology SPT states are actually within another type of group cohomology classification. More precisely, we show that both the pure and the mixed SPT phases can be realized by G × SO(∞) NLσMs with various topological terms. Through the group cohomology H[superscript d][G × SO(∞),R/Z], we find that the set of our constructed SPT phases in d-dimensional space-time are described by E[superscript d](G) ⋊ ⊕[d−1 over k=1]H[superscript k](G,iTO[d−k over L]) ⊕ H[superscript d](G,R/Z) where G may contain time reversal. Here iTO[d over L] is the set of the topologically ordered phases in d-dimensional space-time that have no topological excitations, and one has iTO[1 over L] = iTO[2 over L] = iTO[4 over L] = iTO[6 over L] = 0, iTO[3 over L] = Z, iTO[5 over L] = Z[subscript 2], iTO[7 over L] =2Z. For G=U(1) ⋊ Z[ T over 2] (charge conservation and time-reversal symmetry), we find that the mixed SPT phases beyond H[superscript d][U(1) ⋊ Z[T over 2],R/Z] are described by Z[subscript 2] in 3 + 1D, Z in 4 + 1D, 3Z[subscript 2] in 5 + 1D, and 4Z[subscript 2] in 6 + 1D. Our construction also gives us the topological invariants that fully characterize the corresponding SPT and iTO phases.
