Effective vector-field theory and long-wavelength universality of the fractional quantum Hall effect
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on an effective vector-field theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect that takes into account projection to Landau levels. The effective theory refers to neither the compositeboson nor composite-fermion picture, but properly reproduces the results consistent with them, thus revealing the universality of the long-wavelength characteristics of the quantum Hall states. In particular, the dual-field Lagrangian of Lee and Zhang is obtained, and an argument is given to verify the identification by Goldhaber and Jain of a composite fermion as a dressed electron. The generalization to double-layer systems is also remarked on. PACS:73.43.Cd,71.10.Pm

Nonabelions in the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
Applications of conformal field theory to the theory of fractional quantum Hall systems are discussed. In particular, Laughlin's wave function and its cousins are interpreted as conformal blocks in certain rational conformal field theories. Using this point of view a hamiitonian is constructed for electrons for which the ground state is known exactly and whose quasihole excitations have nonabel...

which have been observed later in an experiment [2] with thermal activation of quasiparticle–quasihole pairs in extremely high mobility samples. The exact quantization of the Hall conductance σH = ν(e /h) for filling factors ν = 5/2 and 8/3 (k = 2 and 4) was obvious while at ν = 13/5 and 19/7, (k = 3 and 5) there were only well-expressed nonzero minimums of the resistance. The two-dimensional c...
متن کاملConformal Field Theory and the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
We examine the application of c = 1 conformal field theory to the description of the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE). It is found that the Gaussian model together with an appropriate boundary condition for the order parameter furnishes an effective theory for the Laughlin type FQHE. The plateau formation condition corresponds to taking the chiral portion of the theory. e-mail: scip1005@nu...
متن کامل2 9 O ct 1 99 7 Charge and current oscillations in Fractional quantum Hall systems with edges
Stationary solutions of the Chern-Simons effective field theory for the fractional quantum Hall systems with edges are presented for Hall bar, disk and annulus. In the infinitely long Hall bar geometry (non compact case), the charge density is shown to be monotonic inside the sample. In sharp contrast, spatial oscillatory modes of charge density are found for the two circular geometries, which ...
متن کاملThe Hausdorff dimension of fractal sets and fractional quantum Hall effect
We consider Farey series of rational numbers in terms of fractal sets labeled by the Hausdorff dimension with values defined in the interval 1 < h < 2 and associated with fractal curves. Our results come from the observation that the fractional quantum Hall effect-FQHE occurs in pairs of dual topological quantum numbers, the filling factors. These quantum numbers obey some properties of the Far...
