The supersymmetric reformulation of physical observables in the Chalker-Coddington model (CC) for the plateau transition in the integer quantum Hall effect leads to a reformulation of its critical properties in terms of a 2D non-compact…
Even though the integer quantum Hall transition has been investigated for nearly four decades its critical behavior remains a puzzle. The best theoretical and experimental results for the localization length exponent $\nu$ differ…
An N-channel generalization of the network model of Chalker and Coddington is considered. The model for N = 1 is known to describe the critical behavior at the plateau transition in systems exhibiting the integer quantum Hall effect. Using…
We show that the localization transition in the integer quantum Hall effect as described by the Chalker-Coddington network model is quantum critical. We first map the anisotropic network model to the problem of diagonalizing a…
We show analytically and numerically that omission of quantum interference from the Chalker-Coddington model of the integer quantum Hall effect gives a localization length exponent nu=4/3 as in ordinary two-dimensional percolation. Thus,…
A systematic description of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model is presented. The symplectic method plays the major role in this paper and also gives the relationship between the WZW model and the Chern-Simons model. The quantum theory is obtained…
We construct a generalization of the Chalker-Coddington network model to the case of fractional quantum Hall effect, which describes the tunneling between multiple chiral edges. We derive exact local and global duality symmetries of this…

We study the $SU(2)_k$ Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) theory perturbed by the trace of the primary field in the adjoint representation, a theory governing the low-energy behaviour of a class of strongly correlated electronic systems.…
In this paper we propose a new $S$-matrix approach to numerical simulations of network models and apply it to random networks that we proposed in a previous work 10.1103/PhysRevB.95.125414. Random networks are modifications of the…
In this paper I revise arguments in favour of the PSL(2$|$2) Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model as a theory of the plateau transition in Integer Quantum Hall effect. I show that all available numerical data (including the correlation…
We formulate scalar field theories in a curved braided $L_\infty$-algebra formalism and analyse their correlation functions using Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization. We perform detailed calculations in cubic braided scalar field theory up to…
We study hierarchical network models which have recently been introduced to approximate the Chalker-Coddington model for the integer quantum Hall effect (A.G. Galstyan and M.E. Raikh, PRB 56 1422 (1997); Arovas et al., PRB 56, 4751 (1997)).…
It is the purpose of the present article to show that so-called network models, originally designed to describe static properties of disordered electronic systems, can be easily generalized to quantum-{\em dynamical} models, which then…
The structure of Hamiltonian reductions of the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) theory by first class Kac-Moody constraints is analyzed in detail. Lie algebraic conditions are given for ensuring the presence of exact integrability,…
Using the Chalker-Coddington network model as a drastically simplified, but universal model of integer quantum Hall physics, we investigate the plateau-to-insulator transition at strong magnetic field by means of a real-space…
The spin quantum Hall effect is a relative of the integer quantum Hall effect, characterized by integer quantized spin Hall conductance. In this work, we formulate and investigate a quantum network model consisting of $\textsf{N}$ channels…
We suggest the possibility that the two-dimensional SU(2)$_k$ Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) theory, which has global SO(4) symmetry, can be continued to $2+\epsilon$ dimensions by enlarging the symmetry to SO$(4+\epsilon)$. This is motivated by…
We develop a supersymmetric extension of the Susskind-Polychronakos matrix theory for the quantum Hall fluids. This is done by considering a system combining two sets of different particles and using both a component field method as well as…
In this paper we discuss a universal integrable model, given by a sum of two Wess-Zumino-Witten-Novikov (WZWN) actions, corresponding to two different orbits of the coadjoint action of a loop group on its dual, and the Polyakov-Weigmann…
