Quantum spin Hall crystals at fractional filling of twisted MoTe$_2$
We predict and classify interaction-driven quantum spin Hall crystals (QSHCs), a class of states emerging at fractional filling through an interplay of topology and spontaneous translation-symmetry breaking. QSHCs form nearly degenerate manifolds whose members can realize distinct topological phases protected by time-r...
