A quantum isolated horizon can be modeled by an SU(2) Chern-Simons theory on a punctured 2-sphere. We show how a local 2-dimensional conformal symmetry arises at each puncture inducing an infinite set of new observables localized at the…
A new variational theory is presented for beam loading in microwave cavities. The beam--field interaction is formulated as a dynamical interaction whose stationarity according to Hamilton's principle will naturally lead to steady-state…
We show on the basis of an effective theory of QCD that a wide variety of observables in the hadron world is governed by the chiral symmetry together with an interplay between the axial anomaly and the explicit symmetry breaking due to the…
Twisted supersymmetric theories on a product of two Riemann surfaces possess non-local holomorphic currents in a BRST cohomology. The holomorphic currents act as vector fields on the chiral ring. The OPE's of these currents are invariant…

The edge of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in a magnetic field consists of one-dimensional (1D) edge-channels that arise from the confining electric field at the edge of the specimen$^{1-3}$. The crossed electric and magnetic…

The chiral anomaly is a fundamental quantum mechanical phenomenon which is of great importance to both particle physics and condensed matter physics alike. In the context of QED it manifests as the breaking of chiral symmetry in the…
We investigate the two-terminal nonlinear conductance of a Coulomb-blockaded quantum dot attached to chiral edge states. Reversal of the applied magnetic field inverts the system chirality and leads to a different polarization charge. As a…
Topological magnetic insulators host chiral gapless edge modes. In the presence of strong interaction effects, the spin of these modes may fractionalize. Studying a 2D array of coupled insulating spin-1/2 chains, we show how spatially…
The quark-gluon matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions may contain local domains in which P and CP symmetries are not preserved. When coupled with an external magnetic field, such P- and CP-odd domains will generate electric…
The understanding of the Chern insulator and anomalous quantum Hall effect (AQHE) in terms of chiral edge states in confined systems is the first aim of the paper. The model we use consists in a diatomic square lattice with hopping to the…
We argue that generic field theories defined on null manifolds should have an emergent BMS or conformal Carrollian structure. We then focus on a simple interacting conformal Carrollian theory, viz. Carrollian scalar electrodynamics. We look…

A set of stacked two-dimensional electron systems in a perpendicular magnetic field exhibits a three-dimensional version of the quantum Hall effect if interlayer tunneling is not too strong. When such a sample is in a quantum Hall plateau,…
This paper begins with a summary of a powerful formalism for the study of electronic states in condensed matter physics called "Gauge Theory of States/Phases of Matter." The chiral anomaly, which plays quite a prominent role in that…
Chiral integer quantum Hall (QH) edge modes are immune to backscattering and therefore are non-localized and show a vanishing longitudinal as well as non-local resistance along with quantized 2-terminal and Hall resistance even in the…
