Abstract
We discuss a recipe to produce a lattice construction of fermionic phases of matter on unoriented manifolds. This is performed by extending the construction of spin TQFT via the Grassmann integral proposed by Gaiotto and Kapustin, to the unoriented pin case. As an application, we construct gapped boundaries for time-reversal-invariant Gu-Wen fermionic SPT phases. In addition, we provide a lattice definition of (1+1)d pin invertible theory whose partition function is the Arf-Brown-Kervaire invariant, which generates the classification of (1+1)d topological superconductors. We also compute the indicator formula of valued time-reversal anomaly for (2+1)d pin TQFT based on our construction.
