We theoretically study the quantum Hall effect (QHE) in graphene with an ac electric field. Based on the tight-binding model, the structure of the half-integer Hall plateaus at $\sigma_{xy} = \pm(n + 1/2)4e^2/h$ ($n$ is an integer) gets…
We analyze charge-$e/4$ quasiparticle tunneling between the edges of a point contact in a non-Abelian model of the $\nu=5/2$ quantum Hall state. We map this problem to resonant tunneling between attractive Luttinger liquids and use the…

Low-energy transport measurements in Quantum Hall systems have been argued to be governed by emergent modular symmetries whose predictions are robust against many of the detailed microscopic dynamics. We propose the recently-observed…
