CLIFFORD MODULES AND SYMMETRIES OF TOPOLOGICAL INSULATORS

CLIFFORD MODULES AND SYMMETRIES OF TOPOLOGICAL INSULATORS

We complete the classification of symmetry constraints on gapped quadratic fermion hamiltonians proposed by Kitaev. The symmetry group is supposed compact and can include arbitrary unitary or antiunitary operators in the Fock space that conserve the algebra of quadratic observables. We analyze the multiplicity spaces of {\em real} irreducible representations …
