Chern-simons Dynamics and the Quantum Hall Effect
نویسنده
چکیده
Theoretical developments during the past several years have shown that large scale properties of the Quantum Hall system can be successfully described by effective field theories which use the Chern-Simons interaction. In this article, we first recall certain salient features of the Quantum Hall Effect and their microscopic explanation. We then review one particular approach to their description based on the Chern-Simons Lagrangian and its variants. To be published in a volume in honour of Professor R. Vijayaraghavan.

A Quantum Hall Fluid of Vortices
In this note we demonstrate that vortices in a non-relativistic Chern-Simons theory form a quantum Hall fluid. We show that the vortex dynamics is controlled by the matrix mechanics previously proposed by Polychronakos as a description of the quantum Hall droplet. As the number of vortices becomes large, they fill the plane and a hydrodynamic treatment becomes possible, resulting in the non-com...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Chern-Simons Theory and Supersymmetric Quantum Hall Liquid
We develop a supersymmetric extension of Chern-Simons theory and Chern-Simons-LandauGinzburg theory for the supersymmetric quantum Hall liquid. Supersymmetric counterparts of topological and gauge structures peculiar to the Chern-Simons theory are inspected in the supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory. We also explore an effective field theoretical description for the supersymmetric quantum Hall l...
متن کاملBTZ black hole and quantum Hall effect in the bulk/boundary dynamics
We point out the close relationship between the BTZ black hole and QHE (Quantum Hall effect) in the (2+1)-dimensional bulk/boundary theory. It is shown that the Chern-Simons/Liouville(Chern-Simons/chiral boson) are an effective description for the BTZ black hole (QHE). Also the IR(bulk)UV(boundary) connection for a black hole information bound is realized as the UV(low-lying excitations on bulk...

Chern-Simons type gauge field is generated by the means of the singular area preserving transformations in the lowest Landau level of electrons forming fractional quantum Hall state. Dynamics is governed by the system of constraints which correspond to the Gauss law in the non-commutative Chern-Simons gauge theory and to the lowest Landau level condition in the picture of composite fermions. Ph...
متن کاملSolitons in 2+1 Dimensional Non-Commutative Maxwell Chern-Simons Higgs Theories
We find soliton solutions in the 2+1 dimensional non-commutative Maxwell Chern-Simons Higgs theories. In the limit of the Chern-Simons coefficient going to zero, these solutions go over to the previously found solutions in the non-commutative Maxwell Higgs theories. The new solutions may have relevance in the theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect and possibly in string vacua correspondin...
