  We propose a set of thermoelectric experiments based on Aharonov-Bohm
interferometry to probe Majorana bound states (MBS), which are generated in 2D
topological insulators (TI) in the presence of superconducting and
ferromagnetic correlations via the proximity effect. The existence and nature
(coupled or uncoupled) of these MBS can be determined by studying the charge
and heat transport, specifically, the behavior of various thermoelectric
coefficients like the Seebeck coefficient, Peltier coefficient, thermal
conductance, and violations of Wiedemann-Franz law as a function of the Fermi
energy and Aharonov-Bohm flux piercing the TI ring with the embedded MBS.
