Fractional Chern Insulators in Twisted Bilayer MoTe_{2}: A Composite Fermion Perspective.

The discovery of fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) in twisted bilayer MoTe_{2} has sparked significant interest in fractional topological matter without external magnetic fields. Unlike the flat dispersion of Landau levels, moiré electronic states are influenced by lattice effects within a nanometer-scale superlattice. This Letter examines the impact of these lattice effects on the topological phases in twisted bilayer MoTe_{2}, uncovering a family of FCIs with Abelian anyonic quasiparticles.

Emergence of the Chern Supermetal and Pair-Density Wave through Higher-Order Van Hove Singularities in the Haldane-Hubbard Model.

While advances in electronic band theory have brought to light new topological systems, understanding the interplay of band topology and electronic interactions remains a frontier question. In this work, we predict new interacting electronic orders emerging near higher-order Van Hove singularities present in the Chern bands of the Haldane model. We classify the nature of such singularities and employ unbiased renormalization group methods that unveil a complex landscape of electronic orders, which include ferromagnetism, density waves, and superconductivity.

Unconventional self-similar Hofstadter superconductivity from repulsive interactions.

Fractal Hofstadter bands have become widely accessible with the advent of moiré superlattices, opening the door to studies of the effect of interactions in these systems. In this work we employ a renormalization group (RG) analysis to demonstrate that the combination of repulsive interactions with the presence of a tunable manifold of Van Hove singularities provides a new mechanism for driving unconventional superconductivity in Hofstadter bands. Specifically, the number of Van Hove singularities at the Fermi energy can be controlled by varying the flux per unit cell and the electronic filling, leading to instabilities toward nodal superconductivity and chiral topological superconductivity with Chern number [Formula: see text].

Classification of Topological Phase Transitions and van Hove Singularity Steering Mechanism in Graphene Superlattices.

We study quantum phase transitions in graphene superlattices in external magnetic fields, where a framework is presented to classify multiflavor Dirac fermion critical points describing hopping-tuned topological phase transitions of integer and fractional Hofstadter-Chern insulators. We argue and provide numerical support for the existence of transitions that can be explained by a nontrivial interplay of Chern bands and van Hove singularities near charge neutrality. This work provides a route to critical phenomena beyond conventional quantum Hall plateau transitions.

Disorder induced power-law gaps in an insulator-metal Mott transition.

A correlated material in the vicinity of an insulator-metal transition (IMT) exhibits rich phenomenology and a variety of interesting phases. A common avenue to induce IMTs in Mott insulators is doping, which inevitably leads to disorder. While disorder is well known to create electronic inhomogeneity, recent theoretical studies have indicated that it may play an unexpected and much more profound role in controlling the properties of Mott systems.

Parafermionic Wires at the Interface of Chiral Topological States.

We explore a scenario where local interactions form one-dimensional gapped interfaces between a pair of distinct chiral two-dimensional topological states-referred to as phases 1 and 2-such that each gapped region terminates at a domain wall separating the chiral gapless edge states of these phases. We show that this type of T junction supports pointlike fractionalized excitations obeying parafermion statistics, thus implying that the one-dimensional gapped interface forms an effective topological parafermionic wire possessing a nontrivial ground state degeneracy. The physical properties of the anyon condensate that gives rise to the gapped interface are investigated.

Anti-inflammatory activity and gastric lesions induced by zinc-tenoxicam.

Oral administration of tenoxicam or zinc-tenoxicam complex inhibited to a similar extent carrageenin-induced paw oedema and granulomatous tissue formation in rats as well as the acetic acid induced writhing response in mice. Gastric lesions induced by oral administration of zinc-tenoxicam were reduced in number and severity when compared with those induced by tenoxicam or the co-administration of tenoxicam and zinc acetate. However, after intraperitoneal administration, both zinc-tenoxicam and tenoxicam plus zinc acetate induced a reduced number of gastric lesions as compared with tenoxicam.
