Abstract

Quantum Hall Effects (QHEs) on the complex Grassmann manifolds Gr2(CN)\mathbf{Gr}_2(\mathbb{C}^N) are formulated. We set up the Landau problem in Gr2(CN)\mathbf{Gr}_2(\mathbb{C}^N) and solve it using group theoretical techniques and provide the energy spectrum and the eigenstates in terms of the SU(N)SU(N) Wigner D{\cal D}-functions for charged particles on Gr2(CN)\mathbf{Gr}_2(\mathbb{C}^N) under the influence of abelian and non-abelian background magnetic monopoles or a combination of these thereof. In particular, for the simplest case of Gr2(C4)\mathbf{Gr}_2(\mathbb{C}^4) we explicitly write down the U(1)U(1) background gauge field as well as the single and many-particle eigenstates by introducing the Pl\"{u}cker coordinates and show by calculating the two-point correlation function that the Lowest Landau Level (LLL) at filling factor ν=1\nu =1 forms an incompressible fluid. Our results are in agreement with the previous results in the literature for QHE on CPN{\mathbb C}P^N and generalize them to all Gr2(CN)\mathbf{Gr}_2(\mathbb{C}^N) in a suitable manner. Finally, we heuristically identify a relation between the U(1)U(1) Hall effect on Gr2(C4)\mathbf{Gr}_2(\mathbb{C}^4) and the Hall effect on the odd sphere S5S^5, which is yet to be investigated in detail, by appealing to the already known analogous relations between the Hall effects on CP3{\mathbb C}P^3 and CP7{\mathbb C}P^7 and those on the spheres S4S^4 and S8S^8, respectively.
