Topological Phases of Point Group Symmetric Weyl Superconductors

ORAL

Abstract

We study superconductivity in a Weyl semimetal with broken time-reversal symmetry and stabilized by a point-group symmetry. The resulting superconducting phase is characterized by topologically protected bulk nodes and surface states with Fermi arcs. We derive a phase diagram of possible superconducting phases which are distinguished by the number of bulk nodes and discuss novel properties of the corresponding surface states. We show how the topological behavior may be understood in terms of the properties of the parent Weyl semimetal at high-symmetry momenta.
