Towards a Field Theory of Fractional Quantum Hall States
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a Chern-Simons theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect in which flux attachment is followed by a transformation that effectively attaches the correlation holes. We extract the correlated wave functions, compute the drift and cyclotron currents (due to inhomogeneous density), exhibit the Read operator and operators that create quasiparticles and quasiholes. We show how the bare kinetic energy can get quenched and replaced by one due to interactions. We find that for n 1y2 the low energy theory has neutral quasiparticles and give the effective Hamiltonian and constraints. [S0031-9007(97)04676-0]

متن کاملConformal field theory description of mesoscopic phenomena in the fractional quantum Hall effect
We give a universal description of the mesoscopic effects occurring in fractional quantum Hall disks due to the Aharonov–Bohm flux threading the system. The analysis is based on the exact treatment of the flux within the conformal field theory framework and is relevant for all fractional quantum Hall states whose edge states CFTs are known. As an example we apply this scheme for the parafermion...
متن کاملNon-Abelian fractional quantum Hall states and chiral coset conformal field theories
We propose an effective Lagrangian for the low energy bulk theory of the Pfaffian states of the fractional quantum Hall effect in terms of non-Abelian Chern-Simons (CS) actions. Our approach exploits the connection between topological CS and chiral conformal field theories and can be applied to large class of non-Abelian FQH states. CONICET, Argentina CICPBA, Argentina
متن کاملA Novel Conformal Field Theory Approach to Bulk Wave Functions in the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
In this thesis, a novel approach is proposed to represent bulk wave functions of fractional quantum HALL states in terms of conformal field theory correlators. It starts from the LAUGHLIN states and their generalization following JAIN’s picture of composite fermions. These effective particles are naturally identified within the b/c-spin conformal field theories. The enigmatic phenomenon of frac...
متن کاملEffective vector-field theory and long-wavelength universality of the fractional quantum Hall effect
We report on an effective vector-field theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect that takes into account projection to Landau levels. The effective theory refers to neither the compositeboson nor composite-fermion picture, but properly reproduces the results consistent with them, thus revealing the universality of the long-wavelength characteristics of the quantum Hall states. In particular,...
