Non-Abelian Topological Order on the Surface of a 3D Topological Superconductor from an Exactly Solved Model

Three-dimensional (3D) topological superconductors (TScs) protected by time-reversal (T) symmetry are characterized by gapless Majorana cones on their surface. Free-fermion phases with this symmetry (class DIII) are indexed by an integer ν, of which ν=1 is realized by the B phase of superfluid ^{3}H...
