Abstract

We consider three states which are likely to be realized in bi-layer quantum Hall systems at total Landau level filling fraction νT=1{\nu_T}=1. Two of these states may be understood as paired states. One can occur as an instability of a compressible state in the large d/lBd/l_B limit, where dd and lBl_B are the interlayer distance and magnetic length. The other is the (1,1,1)(1,1,1) state, which is expected in the small d/lBd/l_B limit. We propose that the longitudinal and Hall drag resistivities can be used to distinguish these different quantum Hall states. The drag resistivities may be computed in a straightforward manner using the paired state formulation.
