Popis: We perform a comprehensive study of the intraband neutral excitations in fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) within moir\'e flatband systems, particularly focusing on the twisted transition metal dichalocogenide homobilayers. Our work provides a detailed description of the magnetorotons in FCIs utilizing exact diagonalization. We further explore the nature of the geometrical excitations in the long-wavelength limit, identifying chiral angular momentum-2 features. Additionally, we find that these modes exhibit chiral mixing and become unstable as the FCI deviates from its ideal conditions. Interestingly, we find evidence of the nonchiral geometrical excitations in the charge density wave (CDW), demonstrating that the geometrical excitations might be supported even in the absence of topology. Our work sheds light on the profound interplay between geometry and topology from the perspectives of excitations.
