Classification of Quantum Hall Universality Classes by W 1 + ∞ symmetry
We show how two-dimensional incompressible quantum fluids and their excitations can be viewed as W1+∞ edge conformal field theories, thereby providing an algebraic characterization of incompressibility. The Kac-Radul representation theory of the W1+∞ algebra leads then to a purely algebraic complete classification of hierarchical quantum Hall states, which encompasses all measured fractions. Sp...
متن کاملUniversality at integer quantum Hall transitions
We report in this paper results of experimental and theoretical studies of transitions between different integer quantum Hall phases, as well as transition between the insulating phase and quantum Hall phases at high magnetic fields. We focus mainly on universal properties of the transitions. We demonstrate that properly defined conductivity tensor is universal at the transitions. We also prese...
متن کاملUniversality in Quantum Hall Systems: Coset Construction of Incompressible States
Incompressible Quantum Hall fluids (QHF’s) can be described in the scaling limit by three-dimensional topological field theories. Thanks to the correspondence between threedimensional topological field theories and two dimensional chiral conformal field theories (CCFT’s), we propose to study QHF’s from the point of view of CCFT’s. We derive consistency conditions and stability criteria for thos...
متن کاملNon-universality of scaling exponents in quantum Hall transitions.
We have investigated experimentally the scaling behaviour of quantum Hall transitions in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures of a range of mobility, carrier concentration, and spacer layer width. All three critical scaling exponents γ, κ and p were determined independently for each sample. We measure the localization length exponent to be γ ≈ 2.3, in good agreement with expected predictions from scali...
متن کاملScaling Behavior and Universality near the Quantum Hall Transition
A two-dimensional lattice system of non-interacting electrons in a homogeneous magnetic field with half a flux quantum per plaquette and a random potential is considered. For the large scale behavior a supersymmetric theory with collective fields is constructed and studied within saddle point approximation and fluctuations. The model is characterized by a broken supersymmetry indicating that on...
