Symmetric, off-diagonal, resistance from rotational symmetry breaking in graphene-WSe$_2$ heterostructure: prediction for a large magic angle in a Moire system

We show that any two-dimensional system with a non-zero extit{symmetric} off-diagonal component of the resistance matrix, $R_{xy}=R_{yx} eq 0$, must have the in-plane rotational symmetry broken down to $C_2$. Such a resistance response is Ohmic, and is different from the Hall response which is the extit{anti-symmetric} part of the resistance tensor, $R_{xy}=-R_{yx}$, is rotationally symmetric in the 2D plane, and requires broken time-reversal symmetry. We show how a minute amount of strain due to lattice mismatch - less than $1 \%$ - can produce a vastly exaggerated symmetric off-diagonal response - $frac{R_{xy}}{R_{xx}} sim 20\%$ - because of the momentum matching constraints in a Moire system. Our results help explain an important new transport experiment on graphene-WSe$_2$ heterostructures, as well as are relevant for other experimental systems with rotational symmetry breaking, such as nematic systems and Kagome charge density waves. Additionally, our work predicts an example of a `magic' angle, $ hetasim 27^0$, in a Moire system which is a significant fraction of $pi$. Our prediction that the anomalous resistance anisotropy occurs at a large value of magic angle, in contrast to known examples of magic angle transport anomalies that are small fractions of $pi$, can be experimentally tested in graphene-WSe$_2$ heterostructures.
