We establish that the interplay of itinerant fermions with localized magnetic moments on a checkerboard lattice leads to magnetic flux-phases. For weak itineracy the flux-phase is coplanar and the electronic dispersion takes the shape of…
We consider a 2+1 dimensional model of charged fermions coupled to a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge field, and study the confinement transition in this regime. To elucidate the phase diagram of this model, we introduce a method to handle the Gauss…
We study a mixture of spin-$1$ bosonic and spin-$1/2$ fermionic cold atoms, e.g., $^{87}$Rb and $^{6}$Li, confined in a triangular optical lattice. With fermions at $3/4$ filling, Fermi surface nesting leads to spontaneous formation of…
The quantum Hall effect and the quantum anomalous Hall effect both require time-reversal invariance to be broken. We show that non-equilibrium effects can cause Hall physics to arise even when the system is weakly time-reversal symmetric…

Gross-Neveu model in 2+1 dimensions exhibits a continuous transition from gapless Dirac semimetal to the gapped quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulator at a finite (attractive) coupling, at which the inversion and time-reversal symmetry…
We derive a scheme for systematically enumerating the responses of gapped as well as gapless systems of free fermions to electromagnetic and strain fields starting from a common parent theory. Using the fact that position operators in the…
The interaction-driven quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulator has been sought for a long time in a Dirac semimetal with linear band touching points at the Fermi level. By combining exact diagonalization, density matrix renormalization…
We explicitly derive the duality between a free electronic Dirac cone and quantum electrodynamics in $(2+1)$ dimensions (QED$_3$) with $N = 1$ fermion flavors. The duality proceeds via an exact, non-local mapping from electrons to dual…
We consider a model of spinful fermions on the triangular lattice which exhibits a C=2 Chern insulator (CI) phase with a quantized anomalous Hall effect, sandwiched between two normal insulator (NI) phases. The first NI-CI quantum phase…
We consider the Hall conductivity of two-dimensional non-interacting Bloch electrons when the magnetic flux per unit cell is a rational number $p/q$ where $p$ and $q$ are mutually coprime. We present a counter-example for the naive…
