We investigate few- and many-body states in half-filled maximally symmetric topological insulator flat bands realized by two degenerate Landau levels which experience opposite magnetic fields. This serves as a toy model of flat bands in moiré materials in which valleys have Chern numbers $C= \pm 1$. We argue that although the spontaneously polarized Ising Chern magnet is a natural ground state for repulsive Coulomb interactions, it can be in reasonable energetic competition with correlated states which can be viewed as Laughlin states of excitons when short distance corrections to the interaction are included. This is because charge neutral excitons in these bands behave effectively as charged particles in ordinary Landau levels. In particular, the Ising Chern magnet is no longer the ground state once the strength of a short range intra-valley repulsion is about $30\%$ larger than the inter-valley repulsion. Remarkably, these excitonic Laughlin states feature valley number fractionalization but no charge fractionalization and a quantized charge Hall conductivity identical to the Ising magnet, $σ_{xy}= \pm e^2/h$, and thus cannot be distinguished from it by ordinary charge transport measurements. The most compact excitonic Laughlin state that can be constructed in these bands is an analogue of $ν=1/4$ bosonic Laughlin state and has no valley polarization even though it spontaneously breaks time reversal symmetry with a charge Hall conductivity $σ_{xy}= \pm e^2/h$.
我们认为,电子和空穴的相关流体可以表现出分数量子霍尔效应在零磁场类似的Laughlin状态填充$1/m$。我们介绍了一个变体的Laughlin波函数的电子和空穴,并表明,$m=1$它是一个自由费米子模型,描述$p_x + i p_y$激子配对的确切基态。对于$m>1$,我们开发了一个简单的复合费米子平均场理论,我们提出的证据表明,我们的波函数正确地描述了这个阶段。我们推导出一个相互作用的哈密顿量,我们的波函数是确切的基态,我们提出的物理参数,$m=3$状态可以实现在一个系统中的能带与角动量不同的$3$交叉的费米能量。这导致了一个无隙态与$(p_x + i p_y)^3$激子配对,我们认为这是有利于形成分数激子绝缘体中存在的相互作用。讨论了模型系统数值计算和能带结构工程在实际材料中实现这一阶段的前景。
