Abstract

We construct microscopic Hamiltonians for symmetry-preserving topologically ordered states on the surface of topological crystalline superconductors, protected by a Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 reflection symmetry. Starting from ν\nu Majorana cones on the surface, we show that the semion-fermion topological order emerges for ν=2\nu=2, and more generally, SO(ν)ν\mathrm{SO}(\nu)_\nu topological order for all ν2\nu\geq 2 and Sp(n)n\mathrm{Sp}(n)_n for ν=2n\nu=2n.
