Abstract
We consider symmetry protected topological states of 2d quantum spin systems, with a finite symmetry group . It has been conjectured that such states are classified by the cohomology group , but the completeness of this classfication is an open problem. We restrict ourselves to symmetry protected topological states that can be prepared from a product state by a symmetric entangler. For this class of states, we prove that the classification by is complete.
