Wave functions for fractional Chern insulators

We provide a parton construction of wave functions and effective field theories for fractional Chern insulators. We also analyze a strong-coupling expansion in lattice gauge theory that enables us to reliably map the parton gauge theory onto a microscopic electron Hamiltonian. We show that this stro...
