Gauging Spatial Symmetries and the Classification of Topological Crystalline Phases

We put the theory of interacting topological crystalline phases on a systematic footing. These are topological phases protected by space-group symmetries. Our central tool is an elucidation of what it means to “gauge” such symmetries. We introduce the notion of a crystalline topological liquid and a...
