Interacting topological insulators: a review

S Rachel - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The discovery of the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators more than a decade
ago has revolutionized modern condensed matter physics. Today, the field of topological …

Novel effects of strains in graphene and other two dimensional materials

B Amorim, A Cortijo, F De Juan, AG Grushin, F Guinea… - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier

ideas from classical condensed matter physics, soft matter, and geometrical aspects of …

Imaging tunable quantum Hall broken-symmetry orders in graphene

A Coissard, D Wander, H Vignaud, AG Grushin… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
When electrons populate a flat band their kinetic energy becomes negligible, forcing them to
organize in exotic many-body states to minimize their Coulomb energy,,,–. The zeroth …

Dirac fermions with competing orders: Non-landau transition with emergent symmetry

T Sato, M Hohenadler, FF Assaad - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We consider a model of Dirac fermions in 2+ 1 dimensions with dynamically generated,
anticommuting SO (3) Néel and Z 2 Kekulé mass terms that permits sign-free quantum …

Nematic quantum criticality in three-dimensional Fermi system with quadratic band touching

L Janssen, IF Herbut - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We construct and discuss the field theory for tensorial nematic order parameter coupled to
gapless four-component fermions at the quadratic band touching point in three (spatial) …

Phase diagram of interacting spinless fermions on the honeycomb lattice: A comprehensive exact diagonalization study

S Capponi, AM Läuchli - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We investigate the phase diagram of spinless fermions with nearest-and next-nearest-
neighbor density-density interactions on the honeycomb lattice at half-filling. Using exact …

Symmetry-breaking topological insulators in the Bose-Hubbard model

D González-Cuadra, A Dauphin, PR Grzybowski… - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We study a one-dimensional model of interacting bosons coupled to a dynamical Z 2 field,
the Z 2 Bose-Hubbard model, and analyze the interplay between spontaneous symmetry …

Ising and Gross-Neveu model in next-to-leading order

B Knorr - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We study scalar and chiral fermionic models in next-to-leading order with the help of the
functional renormalization group. Their critical behavior is of special interest in condensed …

Phases of correlated spinless fermions on the honeycomb lattice

M Daghofer, M Hohenadler - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
We use exact diagonalization and cluster perturbation theory to address the role of strong
interactions and quantum fluctuations for spinless fermions on the honeycomb lattice. We …

Fixed-point structure of low-dimensional relativistic fermion field theories: Universality classes and emergent symmetry

F Gehring, H Gies, L Janssen - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We investigate a class of relativistic fermion theories in 2< d< 4 space-time dimensions with
continuous chiral U (N f)× U (N f) symmetry. This includes a number of well-studied models …
