Abstract

We investigate the SO(5)SO(5) Landau problem in the SO(4)SO(4) monopole gauge field background by applying the techniques of the non-linear realization of quantum field theory. The SO(4)SO(4) monopole carries two topological invariants, the second Chern number and a generalized Euler number, specified by the SU(2)SU(2) monopole and anti-monopole indices, I+I_+ and II_-. The energy levels of the SO(5)SO(5) Landau problem are grouped into Min(I+,I)+1\text{Min}(I_+, I_-) +1 sectors, each of which holds Landau levels. In the nn-sector, NNth Landau level eigenstates constitute the SO(5)SO(5) irreducible representation with (p,q)5=(N+I++In,N+n)5(p,q)_5=(N+I_+ + I_--n, N+n)_5 whose function form is obtained from the SO(5)SO(5) non-linear realization matrix. In the n=0n=0 sector, the emergent quantum geometry of the lowest Landau level is identified as the fuzzy four-sphere with radius being proportional to the difference between I+I_+ and II_-. The Laughlin-like wavefunction is constructed by imposing the SO(5)SO(5) lowest Landau level projection to the many-body wavefunction made of the Slater determinant. We also analyze the relativistic version of the SO(5)SO(5) Landau model to demonstrate the Atiyah-Singer index theorem in the SO(4)SO(4) gauge field configuration.
