Higher order topological systems extend the features of topological insulators from gapless surfaces states to more exotic phenomena such as corner and hinge states. Here, the authors investigate the effect of topology on superconductivity in a dice lattice showing that it can house a second-order topological phase with mixed singlet-triplet pairing and zero-energy Majorana corner states.
