Flat Bands in Kagome Lattice Metals - Linda Ye

Explore the fascinating world of flat bands in kagome lattice metals through this 49-minute conference talk by Linda Ye from Stanford University. Delve into recent developments in the interplay between topology, symmetry, and interactions in condensed matter physics. Gain insights into the effects of correlations on topological insulators, semimetals, and superconductors. Discover how symmetry and strong correlations produce correlated topological phases in Kondo systems. Learn about the connections between higher-order topology and fracton systems, and their potential applications in identifying solid-state candidates. Examine the role of topology in understanding strongly correlated gapless phases like strange metals. This talk, part of a broader conference organized by the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, aims to enhance cross-talk between weakly and strongly correlated communities interested in topology and advance unifying themes for electronic topology across various materials and correlation strengths.
