The classification of surface states of topological insulators and superconductors with magnetic point group symmetry

Understand

We present the exhaustive classification of surface states of topological insulators and superconductors protected by crystallographic magnetic point group symmetry in three spatial dimensions.

• Recently, Cornfeld and Chapman [Phys.
• Rev.
• B {\bf 99}, 075105 (2019)] pointed out that the topological classification of mass terms of the Dirac Hamiltonian with point group symmetry is recast as the extension problem of the Clifford algebra, and we use their results extensively.
