Strong interactions between electrons occupying bands of opposite (or like) topological quantum numbers (Chern=\pm1=±1), and with flat dispersion, are studied by using lowest Landau level (LLL) wavefunctions. More precisely, we determine the ground states for two scenarios at half-filling: (i) LLL’s with opposite sign of magnetic field, and therefore opposite Chern number; and (ii) LLL’s with the same magnetic field. In the first scenario – which we argue to be a toy model inspired by the chirally symmetric continuum model for twisted bilayer graphene – the opposite Chern LLL’s are Kramer pairs, and thus there exists time-reversal symmetry (\mathbb{Z}_2ℤ2). Turning on repulsive interactions drives the system to spontaneously break time-reversal symmetry – a quantum anomalous Hall state described by one particle per LLL orbital, either all positive Chern |{++\cdots+}\rangle|++⋯+⟩ or all negative |{--\cdots-}\rangle|−−⋯−⟩. If instead, interactions are taken between electrons of like-Chern number, the ground state is an SU(2)SU(2) ferromagnet, with total spin pointing along an arbitrary direction, as with the \nu=1ν=1 spin-\frac{1}{2}12 quantum Hall ferromagnet. The ground states and some of their excitations for both of these scenarios are argued analytically, and further complimented by density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and exact diagonalization.

Hall viscosity is a dissipationless transport coefficient whose value is quantized in units of the density in some topological phases and may be used as a measure of topological order. I give an overview of the Hall viscosity, its relation to Hall conductivity in Galilean invariant theories and its realization in effective theories.
