Classification of topological insulators and superconductors with multiple order-two point group symmetries
Abstract
We present a method for computing the classification groups of topological insulators and superconductors in the presence of point group symmetries, for arbitrary natural numbers . Each symmetry class is characterized by four possible additional symmetry types for each generator of , together with bit values encoding whether pairs of generators commute or anticommute. We show that the classification is fully determined by the number of momentum- and real-space variables flipped by each generator, as well as the number of variables simultaneously flipped by any pair of generators. As a concrete illustration, we provide the complete classification table for the case of point group symmetry.
