In the work "Effective field theories of topological crystalline insulators and topological crystals" (published in Phys. Rev. B), we presented a general approach to obtain effective field theories for topological crystalline insulators, characterized by the responses to spatially dependent mass parameters with interfaces. Various quantized topological terms are identified within these effective field theories. In particular, our approach implements the dimensional reduction procedure such that the state of interest is smoothly deformed into a topological crystal, which serves as a representative state of a phase in the general classification.
