Quantum Hall Effects (QHEs) on the complex Grassmann manifolds $\mathbf{Gr}_2(\mathbb{C}^N)$ are formulated. We set up the Landau problem in $\mathbf{Gr}_2(\mathbb{C}^N)$ and solve it using group theoretical techniques and provide the…
We consider the quantum mechanics of a particle on the coset superspace $SU(2|1)/[U(1)\times U(1)]$, which is a super-flag manifold with $SU(2)/U(1)\cong S^2$ `body'. By incorporating the Wess-Zumino terms associated with the $U(1)\times…
We algebraically analysis the quantum Hall effect of a system of particles living on the disc ${\bf B}^1$ in the presence of an uniform magnetic field $B$. For this, we identify the non-compact disc with the coset space $SU(1,1)/U(1)$. This…
