Topological lattice models with constant Berry curvature

Daniel Varjas et al.

Summary: Band geometry plays a significant role in topological lattice models, and the Berry curvature usually fluctuates in reciprocal space. However, lattice models with three or more degrees of freedom per unit cell can support exactly constant Berry curvature. Nevertheless, maintaining constant Berry curvature does not always enhance the properties of fractional Chern insulator states.

WKB Estimate of Bilayer Graphene's Magic Twist Angles

Yafei Ren et al.

Summary: Graphene bilayers exhibit zero-energy flatbands at specific magic twist angles, satisfying a Dirac equation with a non-Abelian SU(2) gauge potential. A semiclassical WKB approximation scheme is developed to analyze these zero-energy solutions, finding values of a dimensionless Planck's constant that correspond closely to numerically determined twist angles.

Fractional Chern insulators in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene

Yonglong Xie et al.

Summary: Fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) are lattice analogues of fractional quantum Hall states and have been recently observed in magic-angle twisted BLG at low magnetic field.

Twisted bilayer graphene. III. Interacting Hamiltonian and exact symmetries

B. Andrei Bernevig et al.

Summary: We derive the explicit Hamiltonian of twisted bilayer graphene with Coulomb interaction, demonstrating positive semidefinite Hamiltonians when projected into flat bands. It is proved that the interacting TBG Hamiltonian exhibits an exact U(4) symmetry in the flat band limit. The existence of chiral limits with enlarged symmetry suggests a possible undiscovered duality of the model.

Engineering geometrically flat Chern bands with Fubini-Studyler structure

Bruno Mera et al.

Summary: We describe a systematic method to construct models of Chern insulators with Berry curvature and the quantum volume form coinciding and being flat, which can host fractional Chern insulators. The construction of geometrically flat Kahler bands with Chern number equal to minus the total number of bands is shown, but it is not possible to construct geometrically perfectly flat Kahler bands with a finite number of bands. The effect of truncating hoppings at a finite length is also explored, showing some deviation from perfect Kahler bands but no significant impact on the flatness of geometrical properties.

Stability, phase transitions, and numerical breakdown of fractional Chern insulators in higher Chern bands of the Hofstadter model

Bartholomew Andrews et al.

Summary: The Hofstadter model is a popular choice for investigating the fractional quantum Hall effect on lattices, with recent experiments detecting richer physical properties in fractional Chern insulators with higher Chern numbers. Through simulations and experiments, the existence of fractional states is confirmed, along with discussions on metal-to-insulator phase transitions and the subtleties in stability distinction. The relative suitability of fractional Chern insulators in higher Chern number bands for proposed modern applications is also commented on.

Kahler geometry and Chern insulators: Relations between topology and the quantum metric

Bruno Mera et al.

Summary: In this study of Chern insulators, the relationship between quantum metric, Berry curvature, Riemannian metric, and symplectic form is explored, showing that the minimal volume of parameter space is related to the first Chern number. The conditions for achieving minimal volume in both Brillouin zone and twist-angle space are also determined, with implications for the stability of fractional Chern insulators. Additionally, it is found that for two-band systems, the volume of the Brillouin zone is minimal under certain conditions related to Berry curvature and topological constraints.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between topology and quantum metric in two-dimensional Chern insulators, proposing the concept of quantum volume as a measure for inferring the Chern number.

Reduction of the twisted bilayer graphene chiral Hamiltonian into a 2 x 2 matrix operator and physical origin of flat bands at magic angles

Gerardo G. Naumis et al.

Summary: The proposed Hamiltonian renormalization method maps zero-mode flat bands into ground states, with modes near zero energy having an antibonding nature in a triangular lattice. At magic angles, the intralayer frustration is exactly zero, suggesting that flat bands at magic angles are akin to floppy-mode bands in flexible crystals or glasses.

Twisted bilayer graphene. V. Exact analytic many-body excitations in Coulomb Hamiltonians: Charge gap, Goldstone modes, and absence of Cooper pairing

B. Andrei Bernevig et al.

Summary: In this study, exact analytic expressions for the energies and wave functions of charged and neutral excitations above the ground state in twisted bilayer graphene are determined, considering various forms of Coulomb interaction and tunneling. It was found that the Cooper pair binding energy is zero in all projected Coulomb models for actual TBG bands, indicating that superconductivity may require other factors such as phonons or nonzero kinetic energy. The study also suggests that if superconductivity is driven by kinetic terms, the highest critical temperature may not necessarily occur at the maximum density of states.

Biao Lian et al.

Summary: This study investigates the exact insulator states and Chern insulators in different limits of the projected Hamiltonian for magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene flat bands with Coulomb interactions. The results show competitive low-energy states of TBG, with different Chern number states being degenerate in certain limits. Transition behaviors are also observed in the presence of magnetic fields. The TBG Hamiltonian converges into an extended Hubbard model in the stabilizer code limit.

Twisted bilayer graphene. II. Stable symmetry anomaly

Zhi-Da Song et al.

Summary: The continuous model of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) is shown to be anomalous and incompatible with lattice models, with numerical confirmation of an approximate particle-hole symmetry and stable topology. This stable topology implies the existence of 4l + 2 Dirac points, protected against arbitrary gap closings, and cannot be realized in lattice models that preserve both C2zT and P symmetries. Additionally, other topology related topics and their implications for interacting TBG problems are discussed.

Spectral characterization of magic angles in twisted bilayer graphene

Simon Becker et al.

Summary: The study explores the unique properties of twisted bilayer graphene, revealing the presence of almost flat bands at certain magic angles and exponential squeezing of bands as the angle approaches zero. The dynamics of magic angles involve nonphysical complex eigenvalues, and the equidistant scaling of inverse magic angles is specific to the choice of tunneling potentials in the continuum model, not protected by symmetries. The protection of zero-energy states in the continuum model depends on the preservation of particle-hole symmetry, while the existence of flat bands and exponential squeezing are special properties of the chiral model.

Hidden wave function of twisted bilayer graphene: The flat band as a Landau level

Fedor K. Popov et al.

Summary: This study investigates the zero-energy states of the chirally symmetric continuum model of twisted bilayer graphene, revealing a hidden flat band of unphysical states with a pole instead of a zero. It is shown that the wave function of any state from the flat band has a zero or pole, with the flat band interpreted as a Landau level in an external magnetic field, leading to the identification of additional flat bands in the magnetic field.

Abelian topological order of ν=2/5 and 3/7 fractional quantum Hall states in lattice models

Bartholomew Andrews et al.

Summary: Determining the statistics of elementary excitations supported by fractional quantum Hall states is crucial for understanding their properties and potential applications. The use of topological entanglement entropy to investigate single-component nu = 2/5 and 3/7 states in the Hofstadter model reveals Abelian topological order. Many-body simulations using the infinite cylinder density matrix renormalization group were conducted, presenting an efficient algorithm to construct the area law of entanglement.
