Abstract

We construct an exactly sovable commuting projector Hamiltonian for (2+1)D bosonic topological insulator which is one of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases protected by U(1) and time-reversal Z2T\mathbb{Z}_2^T symmetry, where the symmetry group is U(1)Z2T\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_2^T. The model construction is based on the decorated domain-wall interpretation of the EE_{\infty}-page of a spectral sequence of a cobordism group that classifies the SPT phases in question. We demonstrate nontriviality of the model by showing an emergence of a Kramers doublet when the system is put on a semi-infinite cylinder (,0]×S1(-\infty,0]\times S^1 with an inserted π\pi-flux. The surface anomaly manifests itself as a non-onsite representation of the U(1)Z2T\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_2^T symmetry. Anomaly matching on a boundary is discussed within a simple boundary theory.
