We consider effects of the interaction between electrons drifting along the opposite sides of a narrow sample under the conditions of the quantum Hall effect. A spatial variation of this interaction leads to backward scattering of…
We find that the Berry curvature splits the edge plasmons propagating along the opposite directions in quantum anomalous Hall insulators even with vanishing Chern number. When the bulk is insulating, only one unidirectional edge plasmon…
The bulk quantization method is used for regularizing a conventional four dimensional theory of massless fermions coupled to an external non-Abelian gauge field and for subsequently evaluating the associated Ward identity. As a result one…

In previous work on the quantum Hall effect on an annulus, we used $O(d,d;{\bf Z})$ duality transformations on the action describing edge excitations to generate the Haldane hierarchy of Hall conductivities. Here we generate the…
The discontinuity of guiding-center Hall viscosity (a bulk property) at edges of incompressible quantum Hall fluids is associated with the presence of an intrinsic electric dipole moment on the edge. If there is a gradient of drift velocity…
The role of edge states in phenomena like the quantum Hall effect is well known. In this paper we show how the choice of boundary conditions for a one-particle Schr\"odinger equation can give rise to states localized at the edge of the…
Stacked two dimensional electron systems in transverse magnetic fields exhibit three dimensional fractional quantum Hall phases. We analyze the simplest such phases and find novel bulk properties, e.g., irrational braiding. These phases…
We predict a nonlinear Hall effect in certain Weyl semimetals with broken inversion symmetry. When the energy dispersions about pairs of Weyl nodes are skewed -- the Weyl cones are "tilted" -- the concerted actions of the anomalous velocity…
In quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) systems, the Hall conductance is quantized and the corresponding effective topological theory of the system is the Chern-Simons theory. The conductance quantum is given by the universal constant $e^2/h$ --…
In this letter, we investigate the anomalous Hall effect in dense QCD matter. When the dual chiral density wave which is the spatially modulated chiral condensate appears in the medium, it gives rise to two Weyl points to the…
The quantum Hall effect is investigated in a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas on the surface of a cylinder. The novel topology leads to a spatially varying filling factor along the current path. The resulting inhomogeneous…
The quantum Hall effect, which exhibits a number of unusual properties, is studied in a gated 1000-nm-thick HgTe film, nominally a three-dimensional system. A weak zero plateau of Hall resistance, accompanied by a relatively small value of…
We point out an interesting analogy between the BTZ black hole and QHE (Quantum Hall effect) in the (2+1)-dimensional bulk/boundary theories. It is shown that the Chern-Simons/Liouville(Chern-Simons/chiral boson) is an effective description…
Quantum Hall states are characterized by a topological invariant, the many-body Chern number, which determines their quantized Hall conductivity. This invariant also emerges in circular dichroic responses, namely, by applying a circular…
We prove the bulk-edge correspondence in $K$-theory for the quantum Hall effect by constructing an unbounded Kasparov module from a short exact sequence that links the bulk and boundary algebras. This approach allows us to represent bulk…
The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) is a quantum phenomenon in which a two-dimensional system exhibits a quantized Hall resistance $h/e^2$ in the absence of magnetic field, where $h$ is the Planck constant and $e$ is the electron…
