Reflection Symmetry and Quantized Hall Resistivity near Quantum Hall Transition

We present a direct numerical evidence for reflection symmetry of longitudinal resistivity $\rho_{xx}$ and quantized Hall resistivity $\rho_{xy}$ near the transition between $\nu=1$ quantum Hall state and insulator, in accord with the recent experiments. Our results show that a universal scaling behavior of conductances, $\sigma_{xx}$ and $\sigma_{xy}$, in the transition regime decide the reflection symmetry of $\rho_{xx}$ and quantization of $\rho_{xy}$, independent of particle-hole symmetry. We also find that in insulating phase away from the transition region $\rho_{xy}$ deviates from the quantization and diverges with $\rho_{xx}$.
