Abstract

In a recent paper published in this Journal [Phys. Rev. B 97, 075135 (2018)], Menezes et al. analyze the topological behavior of a effective bosonic model defined on the Lieb lattice in presence of an electromagnetic field. In this context, the authors claim to have found an atypical quantum Hall effect for the quasiparticles. However, some inconsistencies related to the treatment of the propagator jeopardizes the main result in this system.
