Abstract

The recent measurement of the de Haas–van Alphen effect in the spin-triplet superconductor UTe2 [D. Aoki et al., J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 91, 083704 (2022)] supports cylindrical electron and hole Fermi surfaces, which implies that UTe2 is trivial as a 3D time-reversal-invariant topological superconductor. Inspired by this observation, we investigate the possible realization of a topological crystalline superconductor protected by the crystalline symmetry of UTe2. We examine Majorana surface states protected by mirror and twofold rotational symmetries for all symmetry-allowed odd-parity pairing states with time-reversal symmetry and clarify the corresponding topological invariants. It is found that topological crystalline superconductivity can be realized for all irreducible representations of odd-parity pairing states of UTe2, even for cylindrical Fermi surfaces.
