Abstract

In this paper we formulate the theory of tunneling into general Abelian fractional quantum Hall edge states. In contrast to the simple Laughlin states, a number of charge transfer processes must be accounted for. Nonetheless, it is possible to identify a unique value corresponding to dissipationless transport as the asymptotic large-VV conductance through a tunneling junction, and find fixed points (CFT boundary conditions) corresponding to this value. The symmetries of a given edge tunneling problem determine the appropriate boundary condition, and the boundary condition determines the strong-coupling operator content and current noise.
