Abstract

We present a concrete example of fractional Chern insulator whose fermion Hamiltonian consists of hopping and Coulomb repulsive interaction terms. Both of them are of finite range on the square lattice. In a strong coupling limit for the interaction Hamiltonian, we show that the Hall conductance is fractionally quantized to 1/21/2 in the sense of the expectation value with respect to the four-fold degenerate ground state at the filling 3/83/8. We also present a slightly different example in which there appears a long-range order of charge density wave with the Chern number 11.
