Abstract

The quantum Hall physics of bilayer graphene is extremely rich due to the interplay between a layer degree of freedom and delicate fractional states. Recent experiments show that when an electric field perpendicular to the bilayer causes Landau levels of opposing layers to cross in energy, a even-denominator Hall plateau can coexist with a finite density of inter-layer excitons. We present theoretical and numerical evidence that this observation is due to a new phase of matter -- a Fermi sea of topological excitons.
