We investigate two theoretical pseudomagnon-based models for a bilayer quantum Hall system (BQHS) at total filling factor $\nu_t = 1$. We find a unifying framework which elucidates the different approximations that are made. We also…

We study properties of some known trial wavefunctions in bilayer quantum Hall systems at the total filling factor $ \nu_{T}=1 $. In particular, we find that the properties of a meron wavefunction and a natural "quasi-hole" wave function are…
In the bilayer quantum Hall coherent state for $\nu_T$ deviating slightly from one, we show that, instead of the global order parameter, the spontaneous breaking of the pseudospin U(1) rotational symmetry is reflected by the periodic domain…
Using exact diagonalization of bilayer quantum Hall systems at total filling factor $\nu_T=1$ in the torus geometry, we show that there is a new long-range interlayer phase coherence due to spontaneous pseudospin spiral order at interlayer…
We study meron quasiparticle excitations in the \nu = 1 quantum Hall bilayer. Considering the well known single meron state, we introduce its effective form, valid in the longdistance limit. That enables us to propose two (and more) meron…
Recent experiments on strongly correlated bilayer quantum Hall systems strongly suggest that, contrary to the usual assumption, the electron spin degree of freedom is not completely frozen either in the quantum Hall or in the compressibles…
We analyze bilayer quantum Hall ferromagnets, whose underlying symmetry group is SU(4). Spin-pseudospin coherence develops spontaneously when the total electron density is low enough. Quasiparticles are CP^3 skyrmions. One skyrmion induces…
We report on analytic and numerical studies of spin textures in quantum Hall systems using a long-wavelength effective action for the magnetic degrees of freedom derived previously. The majority of our results concern skyrmions or solitons…
Pseudospin solitons in double-layer quantum Hall systems can be introduced by a magnetic field component coplanar with the electrons and can be pinned by applying voltages to external gates. We estimate the temperature below which depinning…
The bilayer quantum Hall system at a total filling of $\nu_T=1$ has long resisted explanation in terms of a true counterflow superfluid, though many experimental features can be seen to be "almost" that of a superfluid. It is widely…
We present an effective Hamiltonian for a bilayer quantum Hall system at filling factor $\nu=1$ neglecting charge fluctuations. Our model is formulated in terms of spin and pseudospin operators and is an exact representation of the system…

We discuss and review recent advances in our understaning of quantum Hall systems where additional quantum numbers associated with spin and/or layer (pseudospin) indices play crucial roles in creating exotic quantum phases. Among the novel…
