We prove an explicit formula conjectured recently by Wang and Levin for the anomaly of time-reversal symmetry in 2+1 dimensional fermionic topological quantum field theories. The crucial step is to determine the crosscap state in terms of the modular S matrix and $\mathsf{T}^2$ eigenvalues, generalizing the recent analysis by Barkeshli et al. in the bosonic case.

Tori, Klein Bottles, and Modulo 8 Parity/Time-reversal Anomalies of 2+1d Staggered Fermions
Staggered fermions in 2+1d show modulo 8 parity/time-reversal anomalies that match between lattice and continuum when placed on tori and Klein bottles via a nontrivial symmetry map.
