The integral quantum Hall effect can be explained either as resulting from bulk or edge currents (or, as it occurs in real samples, as a combination of both). This leads to different definitions of Hall conductance, which agree under…
The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) is a canonical example of a topological phase in a correlated 2D electron gas under strong magnetic field. While electric currents propagate as chiral downstream edge modes, chargeless upstream…
The manifestation of the bulk quantum Hall effect on edge is the chiral anomaly. The chiral anomaly {\it is} the underlying principle of the ``edge approach'' of quantum Hall effect. In that approach, $\sxy$ should not be taken as the…
