We show that the low-energy electronic structure of graphene under a one-dimensional inhomogeneous magnetic field can be mapped into that of graphene under an electric field or vice versa. As a direct application of this transformation, we…

A possible realization of Hall conductivity, quantized at odd integer factors of $e^2/h$ for graphene's honeycomb lattice is proposed. I argue that, in the presence of \emph{uniform} real and pseudo-magnetic fields, the valley degeneracy…

We apply Laughlin's gauge argument to analyze the $\nu=0$ quantum Hall effect observed in graphene when the Fermi energy lies near the Dirac point, and conclude that this necessarily leads to divergent bulk longitudinal resistivity in the…
