We explore topological properties of a modulated Haldane model (MHM) in which the strength of the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor terms is made unequal and the three-fold rotational symmetry $\mathcal{C}_3$ is broken by…
We provide a detailed description of a new symmetry structure of the monomial (Slater) expansion coefficients of bosonic (fermionic) fractional quantum Hall states first obtained in Ref. 1, which we now extend to spin-singlet states. We…
We consider spin-polarized electrons in a single Landau level on a cylinder as the circumference of the cylinder goes to infinity. This gives a model of interacting electrons on a circle where the momenta of the particles are restricted and…
We construct a class of lattice Hamiltonians whose single-particle spectrum consists of an arbitrary number of exactly degenerate flat bands that reproduce the analytic structure of the first $p$ Landau levels restricted to the lattice.…
We describe four closely related Hubbard-like models (models A, B, C and D) of particles that can hop on a 2D Kagome lattice interacting via Coulomb repulsion. The particles can be either bosons (models A and B) or (spinless) fermions…
