چکیده

We report on an exact diagonalization study of fractional quantum Hall states at a filling factor of ν=2/3 in a system with a fourfold degenerate n=0 Landau level and SU(4) symmetric Coulomb interactions. Our investigation reveals previously unidentified SU(3) and SU(4) singlet ground states which appear at a flux quantum shift 2 when a spherical geometry is employed and lie outside the established composite-fermion or multicomponent Halperin state patterns. We evaluate the two-particle correlation functions of these states and discuss quantum phase transitions in graphene between singlet states with a different number of components as the magnetic field strength is increased.

Broken SU(4) symmetry and the fractional quantum Hall effect in graphene.

We describe a variational theory for incompressible ground states and charge gaps in the N=0 Landau level of graphene that accounts for the fourfold Landau level degeneracy and the short-range interactions that break SU(4) spin-valley invariance. Our approach explains the experimental finding that gaps at odd numerators are weak for 1<|ν|<2 and strong for 0<|ν|<1. We find that in the SU(4) inva...

Theoretical expectations for a fractional quantum Hall effect in graphene

Due to its fourfold spin-valley degeneracy, graphene in a strong magnetic field may be viewed as a four-component quantum Hall system. We investigate the consequences of this particular structure on a possible, yet unobserved, fractional quantum Hall effect in graphene within a trial-wavefunction approach and exact-diagonalisation calculations. This trial-wavefunction approach generalises an or...

Neutrino Mass and the SU (2)R Breaking Scale

The neutrino sector in a left-right extension of the Standard Model depends on how SU(2)R is broken. I list all possible scenarios, including the ones where the Majorana νR mass is naturally much smaller than the SU(2)R breaking scale, which is desirable for generating the proper baryon asymmetry of the Universe. The best such choice is identified and discussed. In the Standard Model of particl...

Quantum Hall States of High Symmetry

We identify some hidden symmetries of Chern-Simons theories, such as appear in the e ective theory for quantized Hall states. This allows us to determine which lling fractions admit spin-singlet quantum Hall states. Our results shed some light on states already observed at = 2=3, and transitions between them. We identify SU(2), or higher, symmetries of many additional states { including spinpol...
