Symmetries as the Guiding Principle for Flattening Bands of Dirac Fermions

Since the discovery of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, flat bands in Dirac materials have become a prominent platform for realizing strong correlation effects in electronic systems. Here we show that the symmetry group protecting the Dirac cone in such materials determines whether a Dirac band...
