Origin of model fractional Chern insulators in all topological ideal flatbands: Explicit color-entangled wave function and exact density algebra

J Wang, S Klevtsov, Z Liu - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
It is commonly believed that nonuniform Berry curvature destroys the Girvin-MacDonald-
Platzman algebra and as a consequence destabilizes fractional Chern insulators. In this …
