The Majorana phase boundaries in planar 2D hybrid (semiconductor-superconductor) nanowires are modified by orbital effects due to off plane magnetic components. We show that Majorana zero modes survive sizable vertical field tiltings,…

Motivated by the recent twisted MoTe$_2$ experiment [arXiv:2601.18508], we develop a disordered interacting edge theory of a fractional topological insulator at $\nu_{\text{tot}}=4/3$, consisting of two time-reversal-conjugated $\nu=2/3$…
