Description

We provide a complete classification of a class of two-dimensional topological quantum field theories with time-reversal symmetry. One of the key ingredients is a generalized Frobenius-Schur indicator, which we also define for line operators in $3d$ TQFTs. We will discuss several applications of the classification to the study of topological phases.
