Fractionalizing glide reflections in two-dimensional topologically ordered phases

We study the fractionalization of space group symmetries in two-dimensional topologically ordered phases. Specifically, we focus on Z2-fractionalized phases in two dimensions whose deconfined topological excitations transform trivially under translational symmetries but projectively under glide refl...
