Abstract

We study the classification of interacting fermionic symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases with both rotation symmetry and Abelian internal symmetries in one, two, and three dimensions. By working out this classification, on the one hand, we demonstrate the recently proposed correspondence principle between crystalline topological phases and those with internal symmetries through explicit block-state constructions. We find that for the precise correspondence to hold it is necessary to change the central extension structure of the symmetry group by the ℤ2 fermion parity. On the other hand, we uncover new classes of intrinsically fermionic SPT phases that are only enabled by interactions, both in 2D and 3D. Several 3D Majorana-type fermionic SPT phases are identified. Moreover, several new instances of Lieb-Schultz-Mattis-type theorems for Majorana-type fermionic SPT phases are obtained and we discuss their interpretations from the perspective of bulk-boundary correspondence.
