Quantum anomalous Hall state in bilayer graphene
Quantum anomalous Hall state in bilayer graphene
We present a symmetry-based analysis of competition between different gapped states that have been proposed in bilayer graphene (BLG), which are all degenerate on a mean field level. We classify the states in terms of a hidden SU(4) symmetry, and distinguish symmetry protected degeneracies from accidental degeneracies. One of the …
