A non-Abelian twist to integer quantum Hall states
Abstract
Through a theoretical coupled wire model, we construct strongly correlated electronic \emph{integer} quantum Hall states. As a distinguishing feature, these states support electric and thermal Hall transport violating the Wiedemann-Franz law as .We propose a new Abelian incompressible fluid at filling that supports a bosonic chiral conformal field theory at the edge and is intimately related to topological paramagnets in (3+1)D. We further show that this topological phase can be partitioned into two non-Abelian quantum Hall states at filling , each carrying bosonic chiral or edge theories, and hosting Fibonacci anyonic excitations in the bulk. Finally, we discover a new notion of particle-hole conjugation based on the state that relates the and Fibonacci states.
