contents This paper demonstrates a pathway to topological superconductivity in monolayer triangular lattices through long-range pairing without requiring spin-orbit coupling and magnetic field, contrasting conventional frameworks reliant on superconductivity and spin-orbit coupling and time-reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking. Berry curvature analysis reveals spontaneous TRS-breaking-induced peaks or valleys under long-range pairing, signaling nontrivial topology superconducting state. Notably, the increase in the long-range pairing strength only changes the size of the energy band-gap, without triggering a topological phase transition. This characteristic is verified by calculating Berry curvature and topological edge states. In zigzag and armchair-edge ribbons of finite width, the topological edge states are regulated by the ribbon boundary symmetry and the interact range of long-range pairing. Under nearest-neighbor pairing, the topological edge states maintain particle-hole symmetry and matches the corresponding Chern number. However, next-nearest-neighbor and third-nearest-neighbor pairings break the particle-hole symmetry of the topological edge states in armchair-edge ribbon. This work proposes a mechanism for realizing topological superconductivity without relying on spin-orbit coupling and magnetic field, offering a theoretical foundation for simplifying the design of topological quantum devices.
