We consider non-unitary similarity transformation, interconnecting the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra representations for the fractional $\nu=\frac{1}{2p+1}$ and integer $\nu=1$ filling fractions. This transformation corresponds to the introduction…
We investigate the algebraic structure of flat energy bands a partial filling of which may give rise to a fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect (or a fractional Chern insulator) and a fractional quantum spin Hall effect. Both effects…
We study $U(1) \times U(1) \rtimes Z_2$ Chern-Simons theory with integral coupling constants (k,l) and its relation to certain non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states. For the $U(1) \times U(1) \rtimes Z_2$ Chern-Simons theory, we…

We propose two non-abelian Chern-Simons matrix models as the effective descriptions of 4-dimensional quantum Hall fluids. One of them describes a new type of 4-dimensional quantum Hall fluid on the space of quaternions, the other provides…

Drawing on the connection with superconductivity, we give a simple AdS realization of the quantum Hall effect. The theory includes a statistical gauge field with a Chern-Simons term, in analogy with effective field theory models of the QHE.
In this paper we study the algebra of quantum observables of the Chern-Simons matrix model which was originally proposed by Susskind and Polychronakos to describe electrons in fractional quantum Hall effects. We establish the commutation…
We exploit the analogy with the quantum Hall (QH) effect for electrons to study the possible atomic QH states of a rapidly-rotating Bose-Einstein condensate. Actually, there is a nearly perfect map of the present problem in the QH regime to…
The purpose of these lectures is to describe the basic theoretical structures underlying the rich and beautiful physics of the quantum Hall effect. The focus is on the interplay between microscopic wavefunctions, long-distance effective…
We develop the non commutative Chern-Simons gauge model analysis modeling the description of the hierarchical states of fractional quantum Hall fluids. For a generic level $n$ of the hierarchy, we show that the order parameter matrix…
We study the phase transition between the quantum Hall liquid state and the insulating state within the framework of the Chern-Simons-Landau-Ginzburg theory of the quantum Hall effect. For the transition induced by a background periodic…
