摘要
We derive an index theorem for zero-energy Majorana fermion modes in a superconductor-topological insulator system in both two and three dimensions, which is valid for models with chiral symmetry as well as particle-hole symmetry. For more generic models without chiral symmetry, we suggest that Majorana zero modes are classified by Z(2).
