摘要
We analyse symmetries of Bloch eigenfunctions at magic angles for the Tarnopolsky-Kruchkov-Vishwanath chiral model of the twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) following the framework introduced by Becker-Embree-Wittsten-Zworski. We show that vanishing of the first Bloch eigenvalue away from the Dirac points implies its vanishing at all momenta, that is, the existence of a flat band. We also show how the multiplicity of the flat band is related to the nodal set of the Bloch eigenfunctions. We conclude with two numerical observations about the structure of flat bands.
