Recent experiments on twisted bilayer graphene have shown a high-temperature parent state with massless Dirac fermions and broken electronic flavor symmetry; superconductivity and correlated insulators emerge from this parent state at lower temperatures. We propose that the superconducting and correlated insulating orders are connected by Wess–Zumino–Witten terms, so that defects of one order contain quanta of another order and skyrmion fluctuations of the correlated insulator are a “mechanism” for superconductivity. We present a comprehensive listing of plausible low-temperature orders and the parent flavor symmetry-breaking orders. The previously characterized topological nature of the band structure of twisted bilayer graphene plays an important role in this analysis.
