What Symmetries are Preserved by a Fermion Boundary State?
Philip Boyle Smith, David Tong
Usually, a left-moving fermion in d=1+1 dimensions reflects off a boundary to become a right-moving fermion. This means that, while overall fermion parity is conserved, ch…

Boundary RG Flows for Fermions and the Mod 2 Anomaly
Philip Boyle Smith, David Tong
Boundary conditions for Majorana fermions in d=1+1 dimensions fall into one of two SPT phases, associated to a mod 2 anomaly. Here we consider boundary conditions for 2N Majorana f…
