Gauge theories compose a large class of interacting conformal field theories in 3d, among which an outstanding category is critical Chern-Simons-matter theories. In this paper, we focus on one of the simplest instances: one complex critical…

The past few years have produced major advances in our understanding of the quantum Hall effects---quantized and unquantized. Theories based on a mathematical transformation, where the electrons are replaced by a set of fermions interacting…
The U(N) Maxwell-Chern-Simons matrix gauge theory is proposed as an extension of Susskind's noncommutative approach. The theory describes D0-branes, nonrelativistic particles with matrix coordinates and gauge symmetry, that realize a matrix…
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 extend finite dimensional Chern-Simons theory to certain infinite dimensional principal bundles with connections, in particular to the frame bundle $FLM\to LM$ over the loop space of a Riemannian manifold $M$. Chern-Simons forms are…
We relate the collective dynamic internal geometric degrees of freedom to the gauge fluctuations in $\nu=1/m$(m odd) fractional quantum Hall effects. In this way, in the lowest Landau level, a highly nontrivial quantum geometry in…
The composite fermion picture has had a remarkable number of recent successes both in the description of the fractional quantized Hall states and in the description on the even denominator Fermi liquid like states. In this review we give an…
We argue that a system of interacting D-branes, generalizing a recent proposal, can be modelled as a Quantum Hall fluid. We show that tachyon condensation in such a system is equivalent to one particle tunnelling. In a conformal field…
A unified description of elementary and collective excitations in quantum Hall systems is presented within the single-mode approximation (SMA) framework, with emphasis on revealing an intimate link with Chern-Simons theories. It is shown…
We study the edge excitations of the Chern Simons matrix theory, describing the Laughlin fluids for filling fraction $\nu=\frac{1}{k}$, with $k$ an integer. Based on the semiclassical solutions of the theory, we are able to identify the…
We present here a classical hydrodynamic model of a two-dimensional fluid which has many properties of Fractional Quantum Hall effect. This model incorporates the FQHE relation between the vorticity and density of the fluid and exhibits the…
We investigate Laughlin's fractional quantum Hall effect wave function in the cylinder geometry of Laughlin's integer quantum Hall effect argument, at filling factor 1/3. We show that the plasma analogy leads to a periodic density, and that…
The exactness and universality observed in the quantum Hall effect suggests the existence of a symmetry principle underlying Laughlin's theory. We review the role played by the infinite $W_{\infty }$ and conformal algebras as dynamical…
Recent experiments have shown that a quantized Hall plateau can occur in double layer systems at total filling factor v=1/2, though there is no plateau at v=1/2 in a normal single layer system. For the single layer system, considerable…
