文摘In this paper, we apply the K-theory scheme of classifying the topological insulators/superconductors to classify the topological classes of the massive multi-flavor fermions in anti-de Sitter(Ad S) space. In the context of Ad S/conformal field theory(CFT) correspondence, the multi-flavor fermionic mass matrix is dual to the pattern of operator mixing in the boundary CFT. Thus, our results classify the possible patterns of operator mixings among fermionic operators in the holographic CFT.
