Wave Functions Statistics at Quantum Hall Critical Point

چکیده
I elaborate on the earlier suggestion that the model describing the plateaux transition in Integer Quantum Hall effect scales to a particular point on the line of critical points of a theory with a higher symmetry.

The Random Network Model for the Quantum Hall Effect and its Ramifications
The percolation model for electrons in spatial dimension two in a strong perpendicular magnetic field in a spatially correlated random potential is introduced. An overview of the random network model introduced by Chalker and Coddington, and its generalizations, is provided. Based on the ingredients of percolation and quantum tunneling the model is explained. Its localization properties and its...
متن کاملHierarchical Wave Functions and Fractional Statistics in Fractional Quantum Hall Effect on the Torus
One kind of hierarchical wave functions of Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (FQHE) on the torus are constructed. The multi-component nature of anyon wave functions and the degeneracy of FQHE on the torus are very clear reflected in this kind of wave functions. We also calculate the braid statistics of the quasiparticles in FQHE on the torus and show they fit to the picture of anyons interacting w...
متن کاملQuantum Criticality at the Origin of Life
Why life persists at the edge of chaos is a question at the very heart of evolution. Here we show that molecules taking part in biochemical processes from small molecules to proteins are critical quantum mechanically. Electronic Hamiltonians of biomolecules are tuned exactly to the critical point of the metal-insulator transition separating the Anderson localized insulator phase from the conduc...
متن کاملConformal field theory approach to bulk wave functions in the fractional quantum Hall effect
We propose to describe bulk wave functions of fractional quantum Hall states in terms of correlators of nonunitary b/c-spin systems. These yield a promising conformal field theory analogon of the composite fermion picture of Jain. Fractional statistics is described by twist fields which naturally appear in the b/c-spin systems. We provide a geometrical interpretation of our approach in which bu...
متن کاملCorrelation of eigenstates in the critical regime of quantum Hall systems.
We extend the multifractal analysis of the statistics of critical wave functions in quantum Hall systems by calculating numerically the correlations of local amplitudes corresponding to eigenstates at two different energies. Our results confirm multifractal scaling relations which are different from those occurring in conventional critical phenomena. The critical exponent corresponding to the t...
