Abstract: Majorana corner modes have a number of advantages over the conventional Majorana states in terms of performing topologically protected quantum computations. However, the problem of the influence of Coulomb repulsion on higher-order phases, which inevitably arises when trying to implement such systems in practice, has been poorly studied. In this article, we analyze the features of a topological invariant describing the nontrivial phase with the corner modes for a two-dimensional two-orbital model of a hybrid structure in the regime of extremely strong electron correlations. For this purpose, approximate wave functions of the edge states with a linear dispersion law and the associated Dirac masses, which arise when superconducting pairing in the system is taken into account, are obtained.

Keywords: topological phases, Dirac fermions, Coulomb interaction, strong correlations, Majorana modes.
