报告摘要:Motivated by recent experimental progress in fabricating superlattices in 2D heterostructures and observation of topological states in Moire patterned monolayer graphene, we develop a general theory for the symmetry-enriched structures in fractional Chern insulators in Hofstadter bands with higher Chern numbers. In particular, we show that the symmetry-enriched structures should be understood with enhanced lattice symmetries, and derive general constraints on possible topological orders in this system.
