Symmetric-Gapped Surface States of Fractional Topological Insulators


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We construct the symmetric-gapped surface states of a fractional topological insulator with electromagnetic $theta$-angle $theta_{em} = frac{pi}{3}$ and a discrete $mathbb{Z}_3$ gauge field. They are the proper generalizations of the T-pfaffian state and pfaffian/anti-semion state and feature an extended periodicity compared with their of integer topological band insulators counterparts. We demonstrate that the surface states have the correct anomalies associated with time-reversal symmetry and charge conservation.
