The mixed-valence compound SmB6 with partially filled samarium 4f flat bands hybridizing with 5d conduction bands is a paramount example of a correlated topological heavy-fermion system. In this study we revisit the topology of SmB6 with the band theory paradigm and uncover previously overlooked aspects resulting from the formation of multiple topological gaps in the electronic structure. By invoking topological quantum chemistry (TQC) we provide a detailed classification of the strong and crystalline topological features that derive from the existence of such topological gaps. To corroborate this classification, we calculate Wilson loops and simulate the surface electronic structure using a minimal tight-binding model, allowing us to describe its surface states and confirm the crystalline topology. We finally discuss its implications for experiments. |
