The non-commutative Landau problem and the Peierls substitution
نویسنده
چکیده
The Landau problem is discussed in two similar but still different non-commutative frameworks. The “standard” one, where the coupling to the gauge field is achieved using Poisson brackets, yields all Landau levels. The “exotic” approach, where the coupling to the gauge field is achieved using the symplectic structure, only yields lowest-Landau level states as advocated by Peierls, and widely used in the description of the ground states of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect.

The non-commutative Landau problem
The Landau problem is discussed in two similar but still different non-commutative frameworks. The “standard” one, where the coupling to the gauge field is achieved using Poisson brackets, yields all Landau levels.

متن کاملAnisotropic harmonic oscillator, non-commutative Landau problem and exotic Newton-Hooke symmetry
We investigate the planar anisotropic harmonic oscillator with explicit rotational symmetry as a particle model with non-commutative coordinates. It includes the exotic Newton-Hooke particle and the non-commutative Landau problem as special, isotropic and maximally anisotropic, cases. The system is described by the same (2+1)-dimensional exotic Newton-Hooke symmetry as in the isotropic case, an...
متن کاملGauge Theories and Non-commutative Geometry
It is shown that a d-dimensional classical SU(N) Yang-Mills theory can be formulated in a d+ 2-dimensional space, with the extra two dimensions forming a surface with non-commutative geometry. In this paper we present an explicit proof for the case of the torus and the sphere. Quantum field theories on a non-commutative space-time have been studied for a long time [1]. Not surprisingly, the fir...
متن کاملExact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation by the first integral method
The first integral method is an efficient method for obtaining exact solutions of some nonlinear partial differential equations. This method can be applied to non integrable equations as well as to integrable ones. In this paper, the first integral method is used to construct exact solutions of the 2D Ginzburg-Landau equation.
متن کاملLowest Landau Level of Relativistic Field Theories in a Strong Background Field
We consider gauge theories in a strong external magnetic like field. This situation can appear either in conventional four-dimensional theories, but also naturally in extra-dimensional theories and especially in brane world models. We show that in the lowest Landau level approximation, some of the coordinates become non-commutative. We find physical reasons to formal problems with non-commutati...
