| contents | Recent experiments on pentalayer rhombohedral graphene moiré superlattices have observed the quantum anomalous Hall effect at moiré filling factor of $ν= 1$ and various fractional values. These phenomena are attributed to a flat Chern band induced by electron-electron interactions. In this study, we demonstrate that at $ν= 2$, many-body effects can lead to the emergence of quantum spin Hall and quantum valley Hall states, in addition to the quantum anomalous Hall state, even in the absence of spin-orbit coupling or valley-dependent potentials. These three topological states can be selectively induced by the application and manipulation of a magnetic field. Furthermore, we show that at $ν= 3$ and $4$, the ground state can be a combination of topologically trivial and nontrivial states, unlike the cases of $ν=1$ and 2. This contrasts with the conventional quantum Hall effect in graphene where the ground state at filling factor $ν$ is given as the particle-hole counterpart at $4-ν$. |
