• Abstract: While free fermion topological crystalline insulators have been largely classified, the analogous problem in the strongly interacting case has been only partially solved. In this paper, we develop a characterization and classification of interacting, invertible fermionic topological phases in (2+1) dimensions with charge conservation, discrete magnetic translation and $M$-fold point group rotation symmetries, which form the group $G_f = \text{U}(1)^f \times_{\phi} [\mathbb{Z}^2\rtimes \mathbb{Z}_M]$ for $M=1,2,3,4,6$. $\phi$ is the magnetic flux per unit cell. We derive a topological response theory in terms of background crystalline gauge fields, which gives a complete classification of different phases and a physical characterization in terms of quantized response to symmetry defects. We then derive the same classification in terms of a set of real space invariants $\{\Theta_{\text{o}}^\pm\}$ that can be obtained from ground state expectation values of suitable partial rotation operators. We explicitly relate these real space invariants to the quantized coefficients in the topological response theory, and find the dependence of the invariants on the chiral central charge $c_-$ of the invertible phase. Finally, when $\phi = 0$ we derive an explicit map between the free and interacting classifications.

  We develop a field-theoretical framework that provides a unified approach to observables characterizing entanglement and charge fluctuations.

  We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

We demonstrate a standard one-step BRST gauge-fixing of a theory whose fields are $g_ij$, $ni$ and $n$, and whose gauge symmetries consist of (i) the topological deformations of $g_ij$, and (ii) the ultralocal nonrelativistic limit of space

  We develop a theory of symmetry-protected quantized invariants for topological phases defined on a lattice. We show how discrete rotational and translational symmetry fractionalization can be characterized by a discrete spin vector. The fractionally quantized charge polarization, which is non-trivial only on a lattice with $2$, $3$, and $4$-fold rotation symmetry, implies a fractional charge bound to lattice dislocations.

We show that the spatially homogeneous tilt $beta$ of the dipoles giving rise to the anisotropic dipole exchange leads to the non-trivial reentrant localization beyond the locator expansion.
