The Hall conductivity given by the Kubo formula is a linear response of the quantum transverse transport to a weak electric field. It has been intensively studied for a quantum system without decoherence, but it is barely explored for…
We propose a new formula that extracts the quantum Hall conductance from a single (2+1)D gapped wavefunction. The formula applies to general many-body systems that conserve particle number, and is based on the concept of modular flow: i.e.,…

The theory of the nonlinear Hall effect has been established by I. Sodemann and L. Fu [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 216806 (2015)] in a semiclassical framework: therein, the effect appears as a geometrical property of Bloch electrons, originating…
General thermodynamical arguments are used to relate the Hall current to the part of the magnetic moment originated in "macroscopic current loops". The Hall resistance is found to depend only on the electron properties in the vicinity of…
