Crystalline equivalent boundary-bulk correspondence of two-dimensional topological phases
Abstract
The boundary of topological phases of matter can manifest its topology nature, which leads to the so-called boundary-bulk correspondence (BBC) of topological phases. In this Letter, we construct a one-to-one correspondence between the boundary theories of fermionic SPT (fSPT) phases protected by crystalline symmetry and on-site symmetry in 2D fermionic systems, which follow the so-called crystalline equivalence principle. We dub such correspondence crystalline equivalent BBC. We illustrate this correspondence by two simple examples and as an application, we discover the topological boundary theory of 2D fSPT phase with spin-1/2 fermions, protected by a non-Abelian group with where is the generator of , from its crystalline equivalent partner -- 2D higher-order fSPT phase with spinless fermions, protected by symmetry.
