In a recent paper by Neupert, Santos, Chamon, and Mudry [Phys. Rev. B 86, 165133 (2012)] it is claimed that there is an elementary formula for the Hall conductivity of fractional Chern insulators. We show that the proposed formula cannot…

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…
Chern insulators are band insulators exhibiting a nonzero Hall conductance but preserving the lattice translational symmetry. We conclusively show that a partially filled Chern insulator at 1/3 filling exhibits a fractional quantum Hall…
