Chiral SO(4) spin-valley density wave and degenerate topological superconductivity in magic-angle-twisted bilayer-graphene

Abstract

Starting from a realistic extended Hubbard model for a $p_{x,y}$-orbital tight-binding model on the Honeycomb lattice, we perform a thorough investigation on the possible electron instabilities in the MA-TBG near the van Hove (VH) dopings. Here we focus on the interplay between the approximate SU(2)$\times$SU(2) symmetry and the $D_3$ symmetry, which leads to intriguing quantum states relevant to recent experiments, as revealed by our systematic RPA based calculations followed by a succeeding mean-field energy minimization for the ground state energy. At the SU(2)$\times$SU(2) symmetric point, the degenerate inter-valley SDW and VDW are mixed into a new state of matter dubbed as the chiral SO(4) spin-valley DW. This state simultaneously hosts three 4-component vectorial spin-valley DW orders with each adopting one wave vector, and the polarization directions of the three DW orders are mutually perpendicular to one another. %in the ${\mathbb{R}}^4$ space. In the presence of a tiny inter-valley exchange interaction with coefficient $J_H\to 0^{-}$ which breaks the SU(2)$\times$SU(2) symmetry, a pure chiral SDW state is obtained. In the case of $J_H\to 0^{+}$, a nematic VDW+SDW state emerges which possesses a stripy distribution of the charge density, consistent with the recent STM observations. On the aspect of SC, while the triplet $p+ip$ and singlet $d+id$ topological SCs are degenerate at $J_H=0$ near the VH dopings, the former (latter) is favored for $J_H\to 0^{-}$ ($J_H\to 0^{+}$). In addition, the two asymmetric doping-dependent behaviors of the obtained pairing phase diagram are well consistent with experiments.
