Abstract

We construct an exactly solvable lattice model of a fractional Weyl semimetal. The low-energy theory of this strongly interacting state is that of a Weyl semimetal built out of fractionally charged fermions. We show the existence of a universally quantized and fractional circular photogalvanic effect and a violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law in the system. Together with a spectral gap in the single-particle electronic Green's function, they provide strong experimental signatures for this exotic gapless state of matter.
