Abstract

Fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) have attracted intensive attention for the realization of fractional quantum Hall states in the absence of an external magnetic field. Most FCIs have been proposed on two-dimensional (2D) Euclidean lattice models with various boundary conditions. In this work, we investigate hyperbolic FCIs which are constructed in hyperbolic geometry with constant negative curvature. Through the studies on hyperbolic analogs of kagome lattices with hard-core bosons loaded into topological flat bands, we find convincing numerical evidences of two types of 𝜈=1/2 FCI states, i.e., conventional and unconventional FCIs. Multiple branches of edge excitations and geometry-dependent wave functions for both conventional and unconventional 𝜈=1/2 FCI states are revealed. Intriguingly, the geometric degree of freedom plays various roles for these two FCIs. Additionally, a center-localized orbital plays a crucial role in the unconventional FCI state.
双曲分数切尔绝缘体
分数切尔诺绝缘体(FCIs)在无外磁场条件下实现分数量子霍尔态的研究引起了广泛关注。大多数 FCIs 都是在具有各种边界条件的二维欧几里得晶格模型上提出的。在这项工作中,我们研究了双曲 FCI,它是在负曲率恒定的双曲几何中构建的。通过对装入拓扑平带的硬核玻色子的双曲类似卡戈米晶格的研究,我们发现了两种类型的𝜈=1/2 FCI 状态,即常规和非常规 FCI 的令人信服的数值证据。传统和非常规的𝜈=1/2 FCI 状态都有多个边缘激发分支和与几何相关的波函数。有趣的是,几何自由度在这两种 FCI 中扮演着不同的角色。此外,中心定位轨道在非常规 FCI 状态中起着至关重要的作用。
