摘要
Second-order topological insulators and superconductors have a gapped excitation spectrum in bulk and along boundaries, but protected zero modes at corners of a two-dimensional crystal or protected gapless modes at hinges of a three-dimensional crystal. A second-order topological phase can be induced by the presence of a bulk crystalline symmetry. Building on Shiozaki and Sato's complete classification of bulk crystalline phases with an order-two crystalline symmetry [Phys.Rev.B 90, 165114 (2014)], such as mirror reflection, twofold rotation, or inversion symmetry, we classify all corresponding second-order topological insulators and superconductors. The classification also includes antiunitary symmetries and antisymmetries.
