Twisted Index Theory on Orbifold Symmetric Products and the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
نویسنده
چکیده
We extend the noncommutative geometry model of the fractional quantum Hall effect, previously developed by Mathai and the first author, to orbifold symmetric products. It retains the same properties of quantization of the Hall conductance at integer multiples of the fractional Satake orbifold Euler characteristics. We show that it also allows for interesting composite fermions and anyon representations, and possibly for Laughlin type wave functions.

Twisted Index Theory on Good Orbifolds, Ii: Fractional Quantum Numbers
This paper uses techniques in noncommutative geometry as developed by Alain Connes [Co2], in order to study the twisted higher index theory of elliptic operators on orbifold covering spaces of compact good orbifolds, which are invariant under a projective action of the orbifold fundamental group, continuing our earlier work [MM]. We also compute the range of the higher cyclic traces on K-theory...
متن کاملTwisted Higher Index Theory on Good Orbifolds and Fractional Quantum Numbers
In this paper, we study the twisted higher index theory of elliptic operators on orbifold covering spaces of compact good orbifolds, which are invariant under a projective action of the orbifold fundamental group, and we apply these results to obtain qualitative results, related to generalizations of the Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture, on the spectrum of self adjoint elliptic operators which are i...
متن کاملOrbifold duality symmetries and quantum Hall systems, Nucl.Phys
We consider the possible role that chiral orbifold conformal field theories may play in describing the edge state theories of quantum Hall systems. This is a generalization of work that already exists in the literature, where it has been shown that 1+1 chiral bosons living on a n-dimensional torus, and which couple to a U1 gauge field, give rise to anomalous electric currents, the anomaly being...

متن کاملString Theory on AdS Orbifolds
We consider worldsheet string theory on ZN orbifolds of AdS3 associated with conical singularities. If the orbifold action includes a similar twist of S3, supersymmetry is preserved, and there is a moduli space of vacua arising from blowup modes of the orbifold singularity. We exhibit the spectrum, including the properties of twisted sectors and states obtained by fractional spectral flow. A su...
