- Authors: Simon Becker and Maciej Zworski
- Abstract summary: We study Dirac points of the chiral model of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) with constant in-plane magnetic field.
For a fixed small magnetic field, we show that as the angle of twisting varies between magic angles, the Dirac points move between $ K, K' $ points and the $ Gamma $ point.

- Abstract: We study Dirac points of the chiral model of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG)
with constant in-plane magnetic field. For a fixed small magnetic field, we
show that as the angle of twisting varies between magic angles, the Dirac
points move between $ K, K' $ points and the $ \Gamma $ point. The Dirac points
for zero magnetic field and non magic angles lie at $ K $ and $ K'$, while in
the presence of a non-zero magnetic field and near magic angles, they lie near
the $ \Gamma $ point. For special directions of the magnetic field, we show
that the Dirac points move, as the twisting angle varies, along straight lines
and bifurcate orthogonally at distinguished points. At the bifurcation points,
the linear dispersion relation of the merging Dirac points disappears and
exhibit a quadratic band crossing point (QBCP). The results are illustrated by
links to animations suggesting interesting additional structure.

We study a non-Hermitian TBG formed by one-layer graphene twisted relative to another layer with gain and loss.
We find Dirac cones centered at only $K_M$ ($K'_M$) corner of the moir'e Brillouin zone at $K'$ ($K'_M$) valley deformed in the presence of non-Hermiticity.
This is different from single layer graphene with gain and loss, where rings of exceptional points appear in both $K$ and $K'$ corners of the Brillouin zone.
