Neutral excitations in fractional quantum Hall (FQH) fluids define the incompressibility of topological phases, a species of which can show graviton-like behaviors and are thus called the graviton modes (GMs). Here, we develop the…
Based on the composite fermion approach, we derive a microscopic theory describing the low-lying edge excitations in the fractional quantum Hall liquid with $\nu=\frac{\nu^*}{\tilde\phi\nu^*+1}$. For $\nu^*>0$, it is found that the…
When the quantum Hall effect occurs in a two-dimensional electron gas, all low-energy elementary excitations are localized near the system edge. The edge acts in many ways like a one-dimensional ring of electrons, except that a finite…
We show that different classes of topological order can be distinguished by the dynamical symmetry algebra of edge excitations. Fundamental topological order is realized when this algebra is the largest possible, the algebra of quantum…

We consider the field theory that defines a perfect incompressible 2D fluid. One distinctive property of this system is that the quadratic action for fluctuations around the ground state features neither mass nor gradient term. Quantum…
We have investigated the low temperature (T) transport properties of fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states in a high-mobility two-dimensional hole gas. According to the composite fermion (CF) model, FQH states stemming from a half-filled…
Quantum Hall systems offer the most familiar setting where strong inter-particle interactions combine with the topology of single particle states to yield novel phenomena. Despite our mature understanding of these systems, an open challenge…
