Abstract

We consider SPT-phases with on-site GG (where GG is any finite group) symmetry for two-dimensional quantum spin systems. We then impose translation invariance in one direction and observe that on top of the H3(G,T)H^3(G,\mathbb{T})-valued index constructed in \cite{ogata2021h3gmathbb}, an additional H2(G,T)H^2(G,\mathbb{T})-valued index emerges. We also show that if we impose translation invariance in two directions, on top of the expected H3(G,T)H2(G,T)H2(G,T)H^3(G,\mathbb{T})\oplus H^2(G,\mathbb{T})\oplus H^2(G,\mathbb{T}) valued index, an additional H1(G,T)H^1(G,\mathbb{T})-valued index emerges.
