The Kitaev-Heisenberg model can describe the magnetic ground-state of the spin-orbit Mott insulator Na2IrO3. Here, we present our analysis of the quantum many-body instabilities found in the doped system within the framework of a t-J model. We determine ordering tendencies by the functional renormalization group (fRG) method for correlated fermionic systems in an unbiased way. To this end, we derived fRG flow-equations and Ward identities adapted to the lack of full spin-rotational invariance in the fermionic interactions caused by the highly anisotropic and frustrated Kitaev exchange. The solution of the flow equations suggests a rich phase diagram emerging upon doping charge carriers into the ground-state manifold (quantum spin liquids, magnetically ordered phases) of the Kitaev-Heisenberg Hamiltonian. We confirm superconducting triplet p-wave instabilities driven by ferromagnetic exchange. These p-wave phases turn topological upon increasing doping-level and support Majorana edge-modes.
