Quantization of the Hall Conductance and Delocalization in Ergodic Landau Hamiltonians
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove quantization of the Hall conductance for continuous ergodic Landau Hamiltonians under a condition on the decay of the Fermi projections. This condition and continuity of the integrated density of states are shown to imply continuity of the Hall conductance. In addition, we prove the existence of delocalization near each Landau level for these two-dimensional Hamiltonians. More precisely, we prove that for some ergodic Landau Hamiltonians there exists an energy E near each Landau level where a “localization length” diverges. For the Anderson-Landau Hamiltonian we also obtain a transition between dynamical localization and dynamical delocalization in the Landau bands, with a minimal rate of transport, even in cases when the spectral gaps are closed.

Dynamical Delocalization in Random Landau Hamiltonians
We prove the existence of dynamical delocalization for random Landau Hamiltonians near each Landau level. Since typically there is dynamical localization at the edges of each disordered-broadened Landau band, this implies the existence of at least one dynamical mobility edge at each Landau band, namely a boundary point between the localization and delocalization regimes, which we prove to conve...

متن کاملIs Hall Conductance in Hall Bar Geometry a Topological Invariant ?
A deep connection between the Hall conductance in realistic situation and a topological invariant is pointed out based on von-Neumann lattice representation in which Landau level electrons have minimum spatial extensions. We show that the Hall conductance has no finite size correction in quantum Hall regime, but a coefficient of induced Chern-Simons term in QED 3 has a small finite size correct...
متن کاملFractional charge in the fractional quantum hall system
The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) has uncovered a number of unique and unexpected quantum behaviors of two-dimensional electrons. For the integer quantum Hall effect (IQFE), the conductance of the bulk is quantized as σxy = n(e2/h) for integer n. This behaviors can be explained as the complete filling of a Landau level in the 2D free electron system with an external magnetic field. Sinc...
متن کاملSUSY Associated Vector Coherent States and Generalized Landau Levels Arising From 2-dimensional SUSY
We describe a method for constructing vector coherent states for quantum supersymmetric partner Hamiltonians. The method is then applied to such partner Hamiltonians arising from a generalization of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Explicit examples are worked out.
