We consider the Hall conductivity of two-dimensional non-interacting Bloch electrons when the magnetic flux per unit cell is a rational number $p/q$ where $p$ and $q$ are mutually coprime. We present a counter-example for the naive…
Unlike an earlier theory, by avoiding both the electromagnetic gauge field shift and the assumption of the zero average of electromagnetic field fluctuation the fermion Chern-Simons gauge theory is reformulated to obtain mean field…
A magnetic field applied to a cross linked ladder compound can generate isolated electronic states bound to the ends of the chain. After exploring the interference phenomena responsible, I discuss a connection to the domain wall approach to…
Lattice gauge theories are a powerful language to theoretically describe a variety of strongly correlated systems, including frustrated magnets, high-$T_c$ superconductors, and topological phases. However, in many cases gauge fields couple…
We consider a two-dimensional gas of interacting fermions in presence of an external constant magnetic field: the system is extended and homogeneous, and thus assumed to be invariant under magnetic translations. Working within the…
We study the quantum Hall effect in the surface states of topological insulator in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field in the framework of edge states. Motion of Dirac fermions will form descrete Landau levels, among which a…
The response to a magnetic flux is considered of the vacuum state of charged Dirac fermions interacting with a domain wall made of a neutral spinless field in (3+1) dimensions with the fermion mass having a phase variation across the wall.…
We present a consistent description of the current distribution in the quantum Hall effect, based on two main ingredients: the location of the extended states and the distribution of the electric field. We show that the interaction between…
The applied voltage along a wire leads to a constant current density and, in turn, the azimuthal magnetic field. The absence of the radial current in a sample bulk requires nonzero radial(Hall) electric field to be present. We show that the…

The current state of the theory of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect is critically analyzed, especially the generally accepted concept of composite fermions. It is argued that there is no sound theoretical foundation for this concept. A…
We reconsider the composite fermion theory of general Jain's sequences with filling factor $\nu=N/(4N\pm1)$. We show that Goldman and Fradkin's proposal of a Dirac composite fermion leads to a violation of the Haldane bound on the…
Quasiperiodically driven fermionic systems can support topological phases not realized in equilibrium. The fermions are localized in the bulk, but support quantized energy currents at the edge. These phases were discovered through an…
We study the quantum anomalous Hall states in the $p$-orbital bands of the honeycomb optical lattices loaded with the single component fermions. Such an effect has not been realized in both condensed matter and cold atom systems yet. By…
We show that two recent independent proposals for regularizing a chiral gauge theory stem from one common trick. If the anomaly free complex representation carried by the right handed fermi--fields is $r$ one constructs a vector like theory…
Quantum anomalies give rise to novel transport phenomena, including the generation of a current in a relativistic fluid due to the presence of magnetic field or vorticity. We present an exclusive and direct computation of the chiral anomaly…
Domain wall fermions are defined on a lattice with an extra direction the size of which controls the chiral properties of the theory. When gauge fields are coupled to domain wall fermions the extra direction is treated as an internal flavor…
It is a well known feature of odd space-time dimensions $d$ that there exist two inequivalent fundamental representations $A$ and $B$ of the Dirac gamma matrices. Moreover, the parity transformation swaps the fermion fields living in $A$…

Domain Wall Fermions utilize an extra space time dimension to provide a method for restoring the regularization induced chiral symmetry breaking in lattice vector gauge theories even at finite lattice spacing. The breaking is restored at an…
