Abstract
We study a tight binding model of $\mathbb{Z}_3$-Fock parafermions with single-particle and pair-hopping terms. The phase diagram has four different phases: a gapped phase, a gapless phase with central charge $c=2$, and two gapless phases with central charge $c=1$. We characterise each phase by analysing the energy gap, entanglement entropy and different correlation functions. The numerical simulations are complemented by analytical arguments.

Report
It is regrettable that the authors did not include a discussion of the complex phases in their numerical analysis. Technically, this seems like a very simple extension, which would have made the paper more complete. But I respect the authors' choice not to do it and to publish this separately.
In my opinion, this paper can be accepted for publication.
