It is well established that 'density reconstruction' at the edge of a two dimensional electron gas takes place for 'hole-conjugate' states in the fractional quantum Hall effect (such as ${\nu}=2/3, 3/5,$ etc.). Such reconstruction leads,…
A periodically driven quantum Hall system in a fixed magnetic field is found to exhibit a series of phases featuring anomalous edge modes with the "wrong" chirality. This leads to pairs of counter-propagating chiral edge modes at each edge,…

We study the effects of impurity scattering on the low energy edge state dynamic s for a broad class of quantum Hall fluids at filling factor $\nu =n/(np+1)$, for integer $n$ and even integer $p$. When $p$ is positive all $n$ of the edge…
Current Luttinger liquid edge state theories for filling $\nu=2/3$ predict a non-universal Hall conductance, in disagreement with experiment. Upon inclusion of random edge tunnelling we find a phase transition into a new…
The chiral topological superconductor, which supports propagating nontrivial edge modes while maintaining a gapped bulk, can be realized hybridizing a quantum-anomalous-Hall thin slab with an ordinary $s$-wave superconductor. We show that…
We study the tunneling current between two counterpropagating edge modes described by chiral Luttinger liquids when the tunneling takes place along an extended region. We compute this current perturbatively by using a tunnel Hamiltonian.…
