Multi-orbital electronic models hosting a non-trivial band-topology in the regime of strong electronic interactions are an ideal playground for exploring a host of complex phenomenology. We consider here a sign-problem-free and time-reversal symmetric model with isolated topological (chern) bands involving both spin and valley degrees of freedom in the presence of a class of repulsive electronic interactions.

Inspired by the discovery of superconductivity in moiré materials with isolated narrow bandwidth electronic bands, here we analyze critically the question of what is the maximum attainable Tc in interacting flat-band systems. We focus specifically on the low-energy effective theory, where the density-density interactions are projected to the set of partially filled flat bands. The resulting problem is inherently nonperturbative, where the standard mean-field approximation is not applicable.

Quantum oscillation phenomenon is an essential tool to understand the electronic structure of quantum matter. Here we report a systematic study of quantum oscillations in the electronic specific heat C el in natural graphite. We show that the crossing of a single spin Landau level and the Fermi energy give rise to a double-peak structure, in striking contrast to the single peak expected from Lifshitz-Kosevich theory. Intriguingly, the double-peak structure is predicted by the kernel term for C el/T in the free electron theory.

The strange metallic regime across a number of high-temperature superconducting materials presents numerous challenges to the classic theory of Fermi liquid metals. Recent measurements of the dynamical charge response of strange metals, including optimally doped cuprates, have revealed a broad, featureless continuum of excitations, extending over much of the Brillouin zone. The collective density oscillations of this strange metal decay into the continuum in a manner that is at odds with the expectations of Fermi liquid theory.

Predicting the fate of an interacting system in the limit where the electronic bandwidth is quenched is often highly nontrivial. The complex interplay between interactions and quantum fluctuations driven by the band geometry can drive competition between various ground states, such as charge density wave order and superconductivity. In this work, we study an electronic model of topologically trivial flat bands with a continuously tunable Fubini-Study metric in the presence of on-site attraction and nearest-neighbor repulsion, using numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo simulations.

Recent spectroscopic measurements in a number of strongly correlated metals that exhibit non-Fermi-liquid-like properties have observed evidence of anomalous frequency and momentum-dependent charge-density fluctuations. Specifically, in the strange metallic regime of the cuprate superconductors, there is a featureless particle-hole continuum exhibiting unusual power laws, and experiments suggest that the plasmon mode decays into this continuum in a manner that is distinct from the expectations of conventional Fermi liquid theory.

Superconductivity is a macroscopic manifestation of a quantum phenomenon where pairs of electrons delocalize and develop phase coherence over a long distance. A long-standing quest has been to address the underlying microscopic mechanisms that fundamentally limit the superconducting transition temperature, Tc . A platform which serves as an ideal playground for realizing "high"-temperature superconductors are materials where the electrons' kinetic energy is quenched and interactions provide the only energy scale in the problem.

Recent experiments in moiré transition metal dichalcogenide materials have reported the observation of a continuous bandwidth-tuned transition from a metal to a paramagnetic Mott insulator at a fixed filling of one electron per moiré unit cell. The electrical transport measurements reveal a number of puzzling features that are seemingly at odds with the theoretical expectations of an interaction-induced, but disorder-free, bandwidth-tuned metal-insulator transition.

Band topology is traditionally analyzed in terms of gauge-invariant observables associated with crystalline Bloch wave functions. Recent work has demonstrated that many of the free fermion topological characteristics survive even in an amorphous setting. In this Letter, we extend these studies to incorporate the effect of strong repulsive interactions on the fate of topology and other correlation induced phenomena.

A classic route for destroying long-lived electronic quasiparticles in a weakly interacting Fermi liquid is to couple them to other low-energy degrees of freedom that effectively act as a bath. We consider here the problem of electrons scattering off the spin fluctuations of a geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet, whose nonlinear Landau-Lifshitz dynamics, which remains nontrivial at all temperatures, we model in detail.
