| contents | For twisted bilayer graphene close to magic angle, we show that the effects of lattice relaxation and the Hartree interaction both become simultaneously important. Including both effects in a continuum theory reveals a Lifshitz transition to a Fermi surface topology that supports both a ``heavy fermion" pocket and an ultraflat band ($\approx 8~{\rm meV}$) that is pinned to the Fermi energy for a large range of fillings. We provide analytical and numerical results to understand the narrow ``magic angle range" that supports this pinned ultraflat band and make predictions for its experimental observation. We believe that the bands presented here are accurate at high temperature and provide a good starting point to understand the myriad of complex behaviour observed in this system. |
