Abstract

We prove an explicit formula conjectured recently by Wang and Levin for the anomaly of time-reversal symmetry in 2+1 dimensional fermionic topological quantum field theories. The crucial step is to determine the crosscap state in terms of the modular S matrix and T2\mathsf{T}^2 eigenvalues, generalizing the recent analysis by Barkeshli et al. in the bosonic case.
