Skyrmions in the Quantum Hall effect and noncommutative solitons
نویسنده
چکیده
It has been recently shown that solitons are fundamental classical solutions of non-commutative field theories. We reconsider this issue from the standpoint of the Hall effect and identify some solutions with known solutions in the integer Hall effect with no Zeeman coupling.

The Magnus Force on Skyrmions in Ferromagnets and Quantum Hall Systems
The topological solitons, or “skyrmions”, in a planar ferromagnet experience a Magnus force proportional to the product of their velocity and the surrounding magnetization. It has been suggested that the charged quasiparticles near filling factor ν = 1 in the GaAs quantum Hall effect are skyrmions. If so, we might expect this spin-induced Magnus force to act on the quasiparticles in addition to...
متن کاملSolitons in Chern-Simons Theories of Nonrelativistic CPN−1 Models: Spin Textures in the Quantum Hall Effect
Topological solitons in CPN−1 models coupled with a Chern-Simons gauge field and a Hopf term are studied both analytically and numerically. These models are lowenergy effective theories for the quantum Hall effect (QHE) with internal degrees of freedom, like the QHE in double-layer electron systems. These solitons correspond to skyrmions and merons which are charged quasi-excitations in the QHE...
متن کاملField Theory of Quantum Hall Effects, Composite Bosons, Vortices and Skyrmions
A field theory of quantum Hall effects is constructed based on the composite-boson picture. It is tightly related with the microscopic wave-function theory. The characteristic feature is that the field operator describes solely the physical degrees of freedom representing the deviation from the Laughlin state. It presents a powerful tool to analyze excited states within the lowest Landau level....

An improved composite-boson theory of quantum Hall ferromagnets is proposed. It is tightly related with the microscopic wave-function theory. The characteristic feature is that the field operator describes solely the physical degrees of freedom representing the deviation from the ground state. It presents a powerful tool to analyze excited states within the lowest Landau level. Excitations incl...
