We demonstrate the generic existence of Dirac cones in the full Bistritzer--MacDonald Hamiltonian for twisted bilayer graphene. Its complementary set, when Dirac cones are absent, is the set of magic angles. We show the stability of magic…
We initiate the mathematical study of the Bistritzer-MacDonald Hamiltonian for twisted trilayer graphene in the chiral limit (and beyond). We develop a spectral theoretic approach to investigate the presence of flat bands under specific…

In this article we study the Bistritzer-MacDonald (BM) model with external magnetic field. We study the spectral properties of the Hamiltonian in an external magnetic field with a particular emphasis on the flat band of the chiral model at…
At certain angles of rotation called `magic angles' twisted bilayer graphene features almost flat bands. The resulting strong correlations drive the system to novel phases which have been observed in experiments recently. A complete…
We propose an effective lattice model for the moir\'e structure of the twisted bilayer dice lattice. In the chiral limit, we find that there are flat bands at the zero-energy level at any twist angle besides the magic ones and these flat…
Flat band electronic modes in twisted graphene bilayers are responsible for superconducting and other highly correlated electron-electron phases. Although some hints were known of a possible connection between the quantum Hall effect and…
Twisted Bilayer graphene (TBG) is known to feature isolated and relatively flat bands near charge neutrality, when tuned to special magic angles. However, different criteria for the magic angle such as the vanishing of Dirac speed, minimal…
