Spontaneous breaking of time-reversal symmetry in topological superconductors

Abstract We study the behavior of spinless fermions in superconducting state, in which the phases of the superconducting order parameter depend on the direction of the link. We find that the energy of the superconductor depends on the phase differences of the superconducting order parameter. The sol...
