Symmetry Classes of Open Fermionic Quantum Matter

We present a full symmetry classification of fermion matter in and out of thermal equilibrium. Our approach starts from first principles, the ten different classes of linear and antilinear state transformations in fermionic Fock spaces, and symmetries defined via invariance properties of the dynamic...
