Topological Matter School 2024 (TMS24)

Flat band materials offer a platform for enhancing correlation effects, rendering them an area of significant current interest. They present exceptional opportunities for exploring topology in correlated settings and correlation physics enriched by topology. Recent experiments on correlated kagome metals and moiré systems have unveiled evidence of peculiar behaviors, including strange-metal characteristics, charge density waves, nematic orders, and fractional Chern insulators within flat-band materials.

The following topics will be covered:

• Introduction to band theory and symmetry indicators
• Topological Flat bands and quantum geometry
• Heavy fermion systems
• Morié systems
• Kagome metals and charge density waves
• Strange metals
