28. In the 0D space here, the time-reversal symmetry acts like a supersymmetry that flips the fermion parity. This is similar to the case in F. Zhang, C.L. Kane, and E.J. Mele, Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 056402 (2013). PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.056402
29. These are the symmetry-allowed interactions between the Majorana fermions at (Equation presented) and the ABSs at (Equation presented) in Fig. 1(b). Thus, their energy difference (Equation presented) appears in Eq. (7).
