Bulk-edge and bulk-hinge correspondence in inversion-symmetric insulators

We show that a slab of a three-dimensional inversion-symmetric higher-order topological insulator (HOTI) in class A is a 2D Chern insulator, and that in class AII is a 2D Z_{2} topological insulator. We prove it by considering a process of cutting the three-dimensional inversion-symmetric HOTI along...
