In this paper, we provide state sum path integral definitions of exotic invertible topological phases proposed in the recent paper by Hsin, Ji, and Jian. The exotic phase has time reversal ($T$) symmetry, and depends on a choice of the spacetime structure called the Wu structure. The exotic phase cannot be captured by the classification of any bosonic or fermionic topological phases, and thus gives a novel class of invertible topological phases. When the $T$ symmetry defect admits a spin structure, our construction reduces to a sort of the decorated domain wall construction, in terms of a bosonic theory with $T$ symmetry defects decorated with a fermionic phase that depends on a spin structure of the $T$ symmetry defect. By utilizing our path integral, we propose a lattice construction for the exotic phase that generates the $mathbb{Z}_8$ classification of the (3+1)d invertible phase based on the Wu structure. This generalizes the $mathbb{Z}_8$ classification of the $T$-symmetric (1+1)d topological superconductor proposed by Fidkowski and Kitaev. On oriented spacetime, this (3+1)d invertible phase with a specific choice of Wu structure reduces to a bosonic Crane-Yetter TQFT which has a topological ordered state with a semion on its boundary. Moreover, we propose a subclass of $G$-SPT phases based on the Wu structure labeled by a pair of cohomological data in generic spacetime dimensions. This generalizes the Gu-Wen subclass of fermionic SPT phases.
The classification and lattice model construction of symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases in interacting fermion systems are very interesting but challenging. In this paper, we give a systematic fixed point wave function construction of fermio
The fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect illustrates the range of novel phenomena which can arise in a topologically ordered state in the presence of strong interactions. The possibility of realizing FQH-like phases in models with strong lattice effe
We describe topologically ordered and fracton ordered states on novel geometries which do not have an underlying manifold structure. Using tree graphs such as the $k$-coordinated Bethe lattice ${cal B}(k)$ and a hypertree called the $(k,n)$-hyper-Bet
We review the dimensional reduction procedure in the group cohomology classification of bosonic SPT phases with finite abelian unitary symmetry group. We then extend this to include general reductions of arbitrary dimensions and also extend the proce
The computation of certain obstruction functions is a central task in classifying interacting fermionic symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases. Using techniques in group-cohomology theory, we develop an algorithm to accelerate this computation.
