The search for fractional quantized Hall phases in the absence of a magnetic field has primarily targeted flat-band systems that mimic the features of a Landau level. In an alternative approach, the fractional excitonic insulator (FEI) has…

Recent experiments have shown that a quantized Hall plateau can occur in double layer systems at total filling factor v=1/2, though there is no plateau at v=1/2 in a normal single layer system. For the single layer system, considerable…
