We show that pressure applied to twisted WSe 2 can enhance the many-body gap and
region of stability of a fractional Chern insulator at filling ν= 1/3. Our results are based on …

Origin of model fractional Chern insulators in all topological ideal flatbands: Explicit color-entangled wave function and exact density algebra

J Wang, S Klevtsov, Z Liu - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
It is commonly believed that nonuniform Berry curvature destroys the Girvin-MacDonald-
Platzman algebra and as a consequence destabilizes fractional Chern insulators. In this …

Ideal Chern bands as Landau levels in curved space

B Estienne, N Regnault, V Crépel - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
We prove that all the criteria proposed in the literature to identify a Chern band hosting exact
fractional Chern insulating ground states, in fact, describe an equivalence with a lowest …

Self-consistent theory of fractional quantum anomalous Hall states in rhombohedral graphene
