Quantum Hall effects of exciton condensate in topological flat bands

Tunable exciton condensates in two dimensional electron gas systems under strong magnetic field exhibits anomalous Hall transport owing to mutual Coulomb coupling, and have attracted a lot of research activity. Here, we explore another framework using topological flat band models in the absence of Landau levels, for realizing the many-body exciton phases of two-component fermions under strong intercomponent interactions. By developing new diagnosis based on the state-of-the-art density-matrix renormalization group and exact diagonalization, we show the theoretical discovery of the emergence of Halperin (111) quantum Hall effect at a total filling factor $ν=1$ in the lowest Chern band under strong Hubbard repulsion, which is classified by the unique ground state with bulk charge insulation and spin superfluidity, The topological nature is further characterized by one edge branch of chiral propagating Luttinger modes with level counting $1,1,2,3,5,7$ in consistent with the conformal field theory description. Moreover, with nearest-neighbor repulsions, we propose the Halperin (333) fractional quantum Hall effect at a total filling factor $ν=1/3$ in the lowest Chern band.
