In honeycomb multilayers with staggered AB-sublattice potentials, we predict gapless edge states localized to either of the odd and the even layers for the AA \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$^{\prime }$$\end{document} stacking order in which the sublattice-pseudospin polarizations of adjacent layers are antiparallel. Gaps in the projected layer-pseudospin spectrum suppress interlayer hopping between odd and even layers. The layer-valley Chern number corresponding to the edge states was obtained by decomposing the occupied state into two layer-pseudospin sectors by using a projected layer-pseudospin operator. For the AB \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$^{\prime }$$\end{document} stacking, the sublattice-pseudospin polarizations of adjacent layers are antiparallel, but the layer-pseudospin spectrum gap closes at the interface of the topologically different states, leading to gapped edge states. For the AA and AB stackings where the sublattice-pseudospin polarizations of the adjacent layers are parallel, the gapless edge states corresponding to quantum valley Hall states are evenly distributed across the layers.
