Chiral superconductivity on a closed Klein bottle: a chirality wall and its Majorana seam spectrum

We study a spinless $π$-flux lattice superconductor whose normal-state momentum-space fundamental domain is a Klein bottle. Within this model, a glide lift and a hidden antiunitary symmetry independently force the Bogoliubov--de Gennes (BdG) Chern number to vanish. A diagonal pairing breaks the antiunitary obstruction exactly when its real part is nonzero; this is necessary, not sufficient, for a chiral phase. We derive explicit Pfaffians determining Chern parity and identify three analytic families of gap closings in a real-pairing section. For a chiral state on a closed real-space Klein bottle, the prescribed pairing and gluing produce a $ΔC=2$ chirality wall. A translation-invariant unfolding resolves two co-propagating Majorana branches. Their finite-size levels depend on circumference and holonomy; the near-zero pair is lifted at first order by allowed local seam perturbations. A cut-cylinder control has the same low-energy channel count, so gluing reconnects existing gapless content. We also distinguish literal gluing from deck projection: particle--hole symmetry exchanges the deck eigenblocks, precluding their interpretation as independent BdG quotient Hamiltonians. The contribution is a model-specific account of pairing compatibility and closed-surface seam spectra. The energy cost is evaluated for a fixed pairing background; neither a protected zero mode nor a self-consistent wall solution is claimed.

An exactly solvable obstructed seam on a lattice Klein bottle: bulk-locked Majorana rings and register-dependent toric codes

We study a frustrated seam produced by literal reflection gluing of Wen's plaquette model on a closed lattice Klein bottle. The seam operators anticommute along two cycles for even circumference and one cycle of twice the length for odd circumference. Their algebra reduces to free Majorana rings, while the commuting bulk stabilizers constrain the allowed ring sectors. This bulk locking yields exact ground energies, excitation gaps and degeneracies, checked by phase-aware Pauli traces and finite-size diagonalization, including two 24-qubit energy predictions. The seam degeneracy is not topological: the single-site seam fields tested split it at second order. We contrast this obstructed gluing with consistent toric-code realizations. An edge register preserves the anyon labels; a Hadamard-dressed site register has colour-dependent seam transport, with ground-state degeneracy 2 or 4 for even circumference and a sign-frustrated exception at odd circumference. For the enumerated lattice isometries and sizes, we compute logical gates and distances, distinguishing abstract qubit relabelling from local hardware depth. Finally, on three 16- and 24-qubit lattices, chiral matter selects a holonomy doublet whose electric-field splitting follows two competing tunnelling routes. These matter results remain finite-size statements. The main result is the exact obstructed-seam solution with bulk sector locking; the register, gate and matter calculations delimit its relation to topological codes.
