Collective excitations at the boundary of a four-dimensional quantum Hall droplet

چکیده
In this work we investigate collective excitations at the boundary of a recently constructed four-dimensional ~4D! quantum Hall state. Local bosonic operators for creating these collective excitations can be constructed explicitly. Massless relativistic wave equations with helicity S can be derived exactly for these operators from their Heisenberg equation of motion. For the S51 and S52 cases these equations reduce to the free Maxwell and linearized Einstein equations respectively. These collective excitations can be interpreted as hydrodynamical modes at the boundary of the 4D quantum Hall effect droplet. Outstanding issues are critically discussed.

Collective excitations at the boundary of a 4D quantum Hall droplet
In this work we investigate collective excitations at the boundary of a recently constructed 4D quantum Hall state. Local bosonic operators for creating these collective excitations can be constructed explicitly.

متن کاملBulk and Edge excitations in a ν = 1 quantum Hall ferromagnet
In this article, we shall focus on the collective dynamics of the fermions in a ν = 1 quantum Hall droplet. Specifically, we propose to look at the quantum Hall ferromagnet. In this system, the electron spins are ordered in the ground state due to the exchange part of the Coulomb interaction and the Pauli exclusion principle. The low energy excitations are ferromagnetic magnons. To provide a me...
متن کاملSpontaneous coherence and collective modes in double-layer quantum-dot systems.
We study the ground state and the collective excitations of parabolicallyconfined double-layer quantum dot systems in a strong magnetic field. We identify parameter regimes where electrons form maximum density droplet states, quantum-dot analogs of the incompressible states of the bulk integer quantum Hall effect. In these regimes the Hartree-Fock approximation and the time-dependent Hartree-Fo...
متن کاملA four-dimensional generalization of the quantum Hall effect.
We construct a generalization of the quantum Hall effect, where particles move in four dimensional space under a SU(2) gauge field. This system has a macroscopic number of degenerate single particle states. At appropriate integer or fractional filling fractions the system forms an incompressible quantum liquid. Gapped elementary excitation in the bulk interior and gapless elementary excitations...
متن کاملO ct 1 99 9 Electronic Dephasing in the Quantum Hall Regime
By means of degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM), we investigate the quantum coherence of electron-hole pairs in the presence of a two-dimensional electron gas in modulation–doped GaAs-AlGaAs quantum wells in the quantum Hall effect regime. With increasing magnetic field, we observe a crossover from Markovian to non–Markovian behavior, as well as large jumps in the decay time of the FWM signal at ...
