We study quantum Hall effect within the framework of a newly proposed approach, which captures the principal results of some proposals. This can be established by considering a system of particles living on the non-commutative plane in the…

Experimental studies of the transitions from a primary quantum Hall (QH) liquid at filling factor 1/k (with k an odd integer) to the insulator have indicated a ``quantized Hall insulator'' (QHI) behavior: while the longitudinal resistivity…

In metallic samples of small enough size and sufficiently strong momentum-conserving scattering, the viscosity of the electron gas can become the dominant process governing transport. In this regime, momentum is a long-lived quantity whose…

We derive an analytic expression for the geometric Hall viscosity of non-interacting electrons in a single graphene layer in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. We show that a recently-derived formula in [C. Hoyos and D. T. Son,…

In the Hall effect, a voltage drop develops perpendicularly to the current flow in the presence of a magnetic field, leading to a transverse Hall resistance. Recent developments with quantum simulators have unveiled strongly correlated and…

In this paper based on the basic principles of gauge/gravity duality we compute the hall viscosity to entropy ratio in the presence of various higher derivative corrections to the dual gravitational description embedded in an asymptotically…

In order to investigate whether space coordinates are intrinsically noncommutative, we make use of the Hall effect on the two-dimensional plane. We calculate the Hall conductivity in such a way that the noncommutative U(1) gauge invariance…

We derive quantum field theory Ward identities based on linear area preserving and conformal transformations in 2+1 dimensions. The identities relate Hall viscosities, Hall conductivities and the angular momentum. They apply both for…

In a fluid subject to a magnetic field the viscous stress tensor has a dissipationless antisymmetric component controlled by the so-called Hall viscosity. We here propose an all-electrical scheme that allows a determination of the Hall…

The ratio of shear viscosity to volume density of entropy can be used to characterize how close a given fluid is to being perfect. Using string theory methods, we show that this ratio is equal to a universal value of $\hbar/4\pi k_B$ for a…
