An Ade-O Classification of Minimal Incompressible Quantum Hall Fluids

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We briefly review a theoretical picture of the quantum Hall effect in which gauge symmetry of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, the representation theory of U(1)-current algebra, and the study of odd, positive integral quadratic forms on N-dimensional integral lattices play fundamental roles. We present a classification of so-called minimal incompressible quantum Hall fluids for low values of the lattice dimension N. The classification contains several new universality classes of quantum Hall fluids which are physically interesting.
