D-brane Dynamics and the Quantum Hall Effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the recently proposed D-brane configuration [1] modeling the quantum Hall effect, focusing on the nature of the interactions between the charged particles. Our analysis indicates that the interaction is repulsive, which it should be for the ground state of the system to behave as a quantum Hall liquid. The strength of interactions varies inversely with the filling fraction, leading us to conclude that a Wigner crystal is the ground state at small ν. For larger rational ν (still less than unity), it is reasonable to expect a fractional quantum Hall ground state.

In this paper we study the integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) on the systems with different types of impurities in delta and gaussian forms. The Landau energy levels in the presence of impurity split in two different levels,the extended and localized levels, emerging then the Hall step. Finally, we add a specified form of a quantum dot potential to a system with impurity, and observed that incr...
متن کاملA 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 کاملM-Theory Brane as Giant Graviton and the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
A small number of M-theory branes as giant gravitons in the M-theory sector of LLM geometry is studied as a probe. The abelian way shows that the low energy effective action for M-theory brane is exactly the 2d electron subject to a vertical magnetic field. We also briefly discuss the microscopic description of M2-brane giant graviton in this geometry, in the language of a combination of D0-bra...
متن کاملRealizing the Quantum Hall System in String Theory
In a recent paper Bernevig, Brodie, Susskind and Toumbas constructed a brane realization of the Quantum Hall fluid. Since then it has been realized that the Quantum Hall system is very closely related to non–commutative Chern Simons theory and this suggests alternative brane constructions which we believe are more reliable and clear. In this paper a brane construction is given for the non–commu...
متن کاملEffective Field Theory Description of the Higher DimensionalQuantum Hall Liquid
We derive an effective topological field theory model of the four dimensional quantum Hall liquid state recently constructed by Zhang and Hu. Using a generalization of the flux attachment transformation, the effective field theory can be formulated as a U (1) Chern–Simons theory over the total configuration space C P3, or as a SU (2) Chern–Simons theory over S4. The new quantum Hall liquid supp...
