Abstract
In ordinary semiconductor bilayers, exciton condensates appear at total Landau-level filling factor . We predict that similar states will occur in Bernal stacked graphene bilayers at many nonzero integer filling factors. For , 1 we find that the superfluid density of the exciton condensate vanishes and that a finite-temperature fluctuation-induced first order isotropic-smectic phase transition occurs when the layer densities are not balanced. These anomalous properties of bilayer graphene exciton condensates are due to the degeneracy of Landau levels with and orbital character.
