Circularly shaken hexagonal optical lattices are a versatile platform to realize the Haldane model and study related topological properties. Two groups have realized the Haldane model experimentally with slightly different set-ups [1]. Using real-space Floquet dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) we study edge states and Laughlin charge pumping of fermions with the Falicov-Kimball type interaction in a cylinder structure of the hexagonal optical lattice, and their dependence on dissipation induced by an extra bath. We find that dissipation tends to smear out edge states and induce non-integer charge pumping for a system with high frequency circular shaking. Furthermore, we explore the possibility to restore integer charge pumping at low frequency driving or by introducing disorder.
