Multi-Q spin-valley order in twisted WSe2

We report on a study of the interacting phase diagram of ${3.65}^{\circ }$-twisted WSe${}_2$ at moiré hole filling $\nu =1$, in which we find previously-overlooked types of magnetism. Specifically, in part of the phase diagram we obtain a magnetic order parameter which modulates in space with four different non-zero wave vectors, corresponding to the three $M$-points and one $K$-point of the moiré Brillouin zone. These multi-Q orders, which can be coplanar or non-coplanar, are continuous deformations of the ${120}^{\circ }$ spin-valley anti-ferromagnet (AFM), where the unit cell has expanded by a factor of four. Interestingly, we find that the multi-Q states are stabilized for experimentally relevant values of interaction strength and displacement field, and are accompanied by a softening of the spin fluctuations near the $M$-points of the moiré
