In a graphene Landau level (LL), strong Coulomb interactions and the fourfold spin/valley degeneracy lead to an approximate SU(4) isospin symmetry. At partial filling, exchange interactions can spontaneously break this symmetry, manifesting…
The quantum Hall states of graphene have a filled Dirac sea of Landau levels. The short ranged SU(4) symmetry breaking interactions can induce a staggered polarization of the sea of Dirac-Landau levels. We study this effect in the extended…

In graphene, the approximate SU(4) symmetry associated with the spin and valley degrees of freedom in the quantum Hall (QH) regime is reflected in the 4-fold degeneracy of graphene's Landau levels (LL's). Interactions and the Zeeman effect…
Interacting electrons in flat bands give rise to a variety of quantum phases. One fundamental aspect of such states is the ordering of the various flavours - such as spin or valley - that the electrons can undergo and the excitation…
The intrinsic Zeeman energy is precisely one half of the cyclotron energy for electrons in graphene. As a result a Landau-level mixing occurs to create the energy spectrum comprised of the $4j$-fold degenerated zero-energy level and 4-fold…
We study generalized spin waves in graphene under a strong magnetic field when the Landau-level filling factor is $\nu=\pm 1$. In this case, the ground state is a particular SU(4) quantum Hall ferromagnet, in which not only the physical…

We construct a variational description for incompressible ground states and charge gaps in the N = 0 LL of graphene which accounts for the 4-fold Landau level degeneracy and for the short range interactions that break the SU(4) spin-valley…

The electronic properties of graphene are described by a Dirac Hamiltonian with a fourfold symmetry of spin and valley. This symmetry may yield novel fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states at high magnetic field depending on the relative…

We explore different skyrmion types in the lowest Landau level of graphene at a filling factor $\nu=\pm 1$. In addition to the formation of spin and valley pseudospin skyrmions, we show that another type of spin-valley entangled skyrmions…
We show that valley degeneracy in rotationally faulted multilayer graphene may be broken in the presence of a magnetic field and interlayer commensurations. This happens due to a simultaneous breaking of both time-reversal and inversion…
