Origin and stability of generalized Wigner crystallinity in triangular moiré systems

Generalized Wigner crystals (GWC) on triangular moir\'e superlattices, formed from stacking two layers of transition metal chalcogenides, have been recently observed at multiple fractional fillings of the moir\'e unit cell [Nature 587, 214 - 218 (2020), Nat.
