We build the constraint that all electrons are in the lowest Landau level into the Chern-Simons field theory approach for the fractional quantum Hall system. We show that the constraint can be transmitted from one hierarchical state to the…
The nanofabrication technology has taught us that an $m$-dimensional confining potential imposed upon an $n$-dimensional electron gas paves the way to a quasi-($n-m$)-dimensional electron gas, with $m \le n$ and $1\le n, m \le 3$. This is…
In a quantum Hall system, the finite-wavevector Hall conductivity displays an intriguing dependence on the Hall viscosity, a coefficient that describes the non-dissipative response of the fluid to a velocity gradient. In this paper, we…
