Green's Function Approach to the Edge Spectral Density

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-10-30 v2

Abstract

It is shown that the conventional many-body techniques to calculate the Green's functions can be applied to the wide, compressible edge of a quantum Hall bar. The only ansatz we need is the existence of stable density modes that yields a simple equation of motion of the density operators. We derive the spectral density at a finite temperature and show how the tunneling characteristics of a sharp edge can be deduced as a limiting case.
