Enlarged Galilean symmetry of anyons and the Hall effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enlarged planar Galilean symmetry, built of both space-time and field variables and also incorporating the “exotic” central extension is introduced. It is used to describe nonrelativistic anyons coupled to an electromagnetic field. Our theory exhibits an anomalous velocity relation of the type used to explain the Anomalous Hall Effect. The Hall motions, characterized by a Casimir of the enlarged algebra, become mandatory for some critical value(s) of the magnetic field. The extension of our scheme yields the semiclassical effective model of the Bloch electron.

Exotic galilean symmetry, non-commutativity & the Hall effect
The “exotic” particle model associated with the two-parameter central extension of the planar Galilei group can be used to derive the ground states of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect. Similar equations arise for a semiclassical Bloch electron. Exotic Galilean symmetry is also be shared by Chern-Simons field theory of the Moyal type.
متن کاملAnyons and the quantum Hall effect - a pedagogical review
The dichotomy between fermions and bosons is at the root of many physical phenomena, from metallic conduction of electricity to super-fluidity, and from the periodic table to coherent propagation of light. The dichotomy originates from the symmetry of the quantum mechanical wave function to the interchange of two identical particles. In systems that are confined to two spatial dimensions partic...
متن کاملDerivation of the Symmetry Postulates for Identical Particles from Pilot-Wave Theories
The symmetries of the wavefunction for identical particles, including anyons, are given a rigorous non-relativistic derivation within pilot-wave formulations of quantum mechanics. In particular, parastatistics are excluded. The result has a rigorous generalisation to n particles and to spinorial wavefunctions. The relation to other non-relativistic approaches is briefly discussed. 1 Quantum ind...
متن کاملNon-relativistic anyons, exotic Galilean symmetry and noncommutative plane
We show that the Lukierski et al. model, invariant with respect to the two-fold centrally extended Galilei group, can be decomposed into an infinite number of independent copies (differing in their spin) of the “exotic” particle of Duval et al. The difference between the two models is found to be sensitive to electromagnetic coupling. The nature of the noncommutative plane coordinates is discus...
متن کاملRelativistic Crystalline Symmetry Breaking and Anyonic States in Magnetoelectric Superconductors
There exists a connection between the creation of toroidal moments (TM) and the breaking of the one-cell relativistic crystalline symmetry (RCS) associated to any given crystal [1] into which non-trivial magnetoelectric coupling effects (ME) exist [2] . Indeed, in this kind of crystals, any interaction between a charge carrier and an elementary magnetic cell can breaks the RCS of this previous ...
