In 1976 Jackiw and Rebbi found 1/2 of a fermion number by using Dirac equation in 1+1 dimensions. Schrieffer in several proposals made an effort to suggest that there is a fractional charge. The calculations of Peierls distortion, Berry's…

Charge fractionalization is the phenomenon where quasi-particle excitations in a many-particle system appear with non-integer values relative to the fundamental charge unit. Examples of such systems are known from field theoretical models…

We investigate the algebraic structure of flat energy bands a partial filling of which may give rise to a fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect (or a fractional Chern insulator) and a fractional quantum spin Hall effect. Both effects…
