Introduction:
Traditionally, topology and strong correlations lived in different universes. The former is a function of band structure whereas the latter stems from a breakdown of perturbation theory. These universes now collide with the advent of 2-dimensional moir\'{e} van der Waals materials. In such materials, strong correlations and topology both conspire to yield new phases of matter. The recent effort is on explaining analogues of the fractional Hall effect in the absence of a magnetic field, dubbed fractional Chern Insulators.
This workshop will focus on recent experiments and theoretical attempts to describe such fractionally quantized transport in the absence of a magnetic field.
