We experimentally study equilibration across the sample edge at high fractional filling factors 4/3, 5/3 under experimental conditions, which allow us to obtain high imbalance conditions. We find a lack of the full equilibration across the…
We consider two dimensional systems in which edge states coexist with a gapless bulk. Such systems may be constructed, for example, by coupling a gapped two dimensional state of matter that carries edge states to a gapless two dimensional…
We study pairing effects in the edge states of paired fractional quantum Hall states by using persistent edge currents as a probe. We give the grand partition functions for edge excitations of paired states (Pfaffian, Haldane-Rezayi, 331)…
The ability to pump quantised amounts of charge is one of the hallmarks of topological materials. An archetypical example is Laughlin's gauge argument for transporting an integer number of electrons between the edges of a quantum Hall…

Topological systems are inherently robust to disorder and continuous perturbations, resulting in dissipation-free edge transport of electrons in quantum solids, or reflectionless guiding of photons and phonons in classical wave systems…
We have investigated the formation of spin textures at the edges of quantum Hall systems for several ferromagnetic filling factors. The textures are driven by the same physics that leads to ``skyrmions'' in the bulk. For hard confinement…
We consider the edge and bulk conductances for 2D quantum Hall systems in which the Fermi energy falls in a band where bulk states are localized. We show that the resulting quantities are equal, when appropriately defined. An appropriate…

We use a novel sample geometry to study non-local effects of edge excitations in the integer quantum Hall effect regime. We find that the condition of local equilibrium at the quantum Hall edge is affected by the diffusion of dynamically…
We investigate the optical response of strongly disordered quantum Hall states in two-dimensional Dirac materials and find qualitatively different effects in the radiation properties of the bulk versus the edge. We show that the far-field…
Recent work on Abelian topological phases with rotational symmetry has raised the question of whether rotational symmetry can protect gapless propagating edge modes. Here we address this issue by considering the coupling of topological…
The transversal propagation of the edge states in a two-dimensional quantum spin Hall system are classified by decay characteristic quantity $\lambda$. Two different modes of the helical edge states exhibit distinct behaviors. The…
The gapless modes on the edge of four-dimensional (4D) quantum Hall droplets are known to be anisotropic: they only propagate in one direction, foliating the 3D boundary into independent 1D conduction channels. This foliation is extremely…
We study the edge spin current and spin polarization in a two-dimensional electron gas with spin-orbit coupling in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. The edge effect removes the degeneracy of Landau levels due to the…
We propose field theories for the bulk and edge of a quantum Hall state in the universality class of the Haldane-Rezayi wavefunction. The bulk theory is associated with the $c=-2$ conformal field theory. The topological properties of the…
