Power laws in physics have until now always been associated with a scale invariance originating from the absence of a length scale. Recently, an emergent invariance even in the presence of a length scale has been predicted by the…
We present a systematic means to impose Galilean invariance within field theory. We begin by defining the most general background geometries consistent with Galilean invariance and then turn to applications within effective field theory,…

The bulk-edge correspondence is a condensed matter theorem that relates the conductance of a Hall insulator in a half-plane to that of its (straight) boundary. In this work, we extend this result to domains with curved boundaries. Under…
We consider functional-integral quantisation of the moduli of all quantum metrics defined as square-lengths $a$ on the edges of a Lorentzian square graph. We determine correlation functions and find a fixed relative uncertainty $\Delta…

According to the bulk-edge correspondence principle, the physics of the gapless edge in the quantum Hall effect determines topological order in the gapped bulk. As the bulk is less accessible, the last two decades saw the emergence of…

The effects of impurity scattering on a general Abelian fractional quantum Hall (FQH) edge state are analyzed within the chiral-Luttinger-liquid model of low-energy edge dynamics. We find that some disordered edges can have several…
We consider the possible role that chiral orbifold conformal field theories may play in describing the edge state theories of quantum Hall systems. This is a generalization of work that already exists in the literature, where it has been…
Current carrying chiral edge states in quantum Hall systems have fascinating properties that are usually studied by electron spectroscopy and interferometry. Here we demonstrate that electron occupation, current, and electron coherence in…
In this letter, we investigate the dissipative dynamics at the edge of Laughlin fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states starting from the hydrodynamic framework of the composite Boson theory recently developed in arXiv:2203.06516. Critical to…
Long range Coulomb interaction between the edges of a Hall bar changes the nature of the gapless edge excitations. Instead of independent modes propagating in opposite directions on each edge as expected for a short range interaction one…
The unique properties of quantum Hall devices arise from the ideal one-dimensional edge states that form in a two-dimensional electron system at high magnetic field. Tunnelling between edge states across a quantum point contact (QPC) has…
We show that the incompressible Euler equations in three spatial dimensions can be expressed in terms of an abelian gauge theory with a topological BF term. A crucial part of the theory is a 3-form field strength, which is dual to a…
The thermoelectric properties of a three-terminal quantum Hall conductor are investigated. We identify a contribution to the thermoelectric response that relies on the chirality of the carrier motion rather than on spatial asymmetries. The…
We theoretically investigate electrical transport in a quantum Hall system hosting bulk and edge current carrying states. Spatially varying magnetic and electric confinement creates pairs of current carrying lines that drift in the same or…
One of the central tenets of the theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect is that the bulk quantized Hall response requires the existence of a gapless chiral edge mode. The field theoretical arguments for this rely on locality. While…
The equilibration between quantum Hall edge modes is known to depend on the disorder potential and the steepness of the edge. Modern samples with higher mobilities and setups with lower electron temperatures call for a further exploration…
