Semiclassical Droplet States in Matrix Quantum Hall Effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive semiclassical ground state solutions that correspond to the quantum Hall states earlier found in the Maxwell-Chern-Simons matrix theory. They realize the Jain composite-fermion construction and their density is piecewise constant as that of phenomenological wave functions. These results support the matrix theory as a possible effective theory of the fractional Hall effect. A crucial role is played by the constraint limiting the degeneracy of matrix states: we find its explicit gauge invariant form and clarify its physical interpretation.

Large N Limit in the Quantum Hall Effect
Carlo A. TRUGENBERGER and Guillermo R. ZEMBA Theory Division, C.E.R.N.** 1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland ABSTRACT The Laughlin states for N interacting electrons at the plateaus of the fractional Hall effect are studied in the thermodynamic limit of large N . It is shown that this limit leads to the semiclassical regime for these states, thereby relating their stability to their semiclassical natur...
متن کاملExotic 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.

The " exotic " particle model with non-commuting position coordinates , 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. The relation to other NC models is discussed. Anomalous coupling is presented. Similar equations arise for a semiclassical Bloch electron, used to explain the anoma-...
متن کاملA matrix model for a quantum hall droplet with manifest particle-hole symmetry
We find that a gauged matrix model of rectangular fermionic matrices (a matrix version of the fermion harmonic oscillator) realizes a quantum hall droplet with manifest particle-hole symmetry. The droplet consists of free fermions on the topology of a sphere. It is also possible to deform the Hamiltonian by double trace operators, and we argue that this device can produce two body potentials wh...
متن کاملAharonov-bohm Effect in the Quantum Hall Regime and Fingering Instability
The shape of an electronic droplet in the quantum Hall effect is sensitive to gradients of the magnetic field, even if they are placed outside the droplet. Magnetic impurities cause a fingering instability of the edge of the droplet, similar to the Saffman-Taylor fingering instability of an interface between two immiscible phases. We discuss the fingering instability and some algebraic aspects ...
