We consider the quantum Hall effect (QHE) in a system of interacting electrons. Our formalism is valid for systems in the presence of an external magnetic field, as well as for systems with a nontrivial band topology. That is, the…

We study interacting GaAs hole bilayers in the limit of zero tunneling. When the layers have equal densities, we observe a phase coherent bilayer quantum Hall (QH) state at total filling factor $\nu=1$, flanked by insulating phases at…

Observations are reported of a metal-insulator transition in a 2D hole gas in asymmetrically doped strained SiGe quantum wells. The metallic phase, which appears at low temperatures in these high mobility samples, is characterised by a…

The integral quantum Hall effect can be explained either as resulting from bulk or edge currents (or, as it occurs in real samples, as a combination of both). This leads to different definitions of Hall conductance, which agree under…

We construct a generalization of the quantum Hall effect, where particles move in four dimensional space under a SU(2) gauge field. This system has a macroscopic number of degenerate single particle states. At appropriate integer or…

Symmetry, dimensionality, and interaction are crucial ingredients for phase transitions and quantum states of matter. As a prominent example, the integer quantum Hall effect (QHE) represents a topological phase generally regarded as…

Even though the integer quantum Hall transition has been investigated for nearly four decades its critical behavior remains a puzzle. The best theoretical and experimental results for the localization length exponent $\nu$ differ…

We consider the problem of quantum and classical phase transitions in double-layer quantum Hall systems at $\nu=1/m$ (m odd integers) from a long-wavelength statistical mechanics viewpoint. We derive an explicit mapping of the…

We consider the effects of quasiperiodic spatial modulation on the quantum Hall plateau transition, by analyzing the Chalker-Coddington network model for the integer quantum Hall transition with quasiperiodically modulated link phases. In…

We consider the quantum phase transitions of fractons in correspondence with the quantum phase transitions of the fractional quantum Hall effect-FQHE. We have that the Hall states can be modelled by fractons, known as charge-flux systems…

We show that the combined effects of dynamical Coulomb blockade and integer quantum Hall effect in a coupled hybrid metal-semiconductor setup provide a pathway for realizing resonant tunneling in Luttinger liquids. This hybrid setup can be…

In order to investigate whether space coordinates are intrinsically noncommutative, we make use of the Hall effect on the two-dimensional plane. We calculate the Hall conductivity in such a way that the noncommutative U(1) gauge invariance…

The nature of a metal--insulator transition tuned by external gates in quantum Hall (QH) systems with point constrictions at integer bulk filling, as reported in recent experiments of Roddaro et al. [1], is addressed. We are particularly…

We demonstrate a universal scaling form of longitudinal resistance in the quantum critical region of metal-insulator transitions, based on numerical results of three-dimensional Anderson transitions (with and without magnetic field),…

Effective-medium theory is applied to the percolation description of the metal-insulator transition in two dimensions with emphasis on the continuous connection between the zero-magnetic-field transition and the quantum Hall transition. In…

The scaling of the conductivity at the superfluid-insulator quantum phase transition in two dimensions is studied by numerical simulations of the Bose-Hubbard model. In contrast to previous studies, we focus on properties of this model in…

When phonons couple to fermions in 2D semimetals, the interaction may turn the system into an insulator. There are several insulating phases in which the time reversal and the sublattice symmetries are spontaneously broken. Examples are…

A two-dimensional quantum Hall system is studied for a wide class of potentials including single-body random potentials and repulsive electron-electron interactions. We assume that there exists a non-zero excitation gap above the ground…

A novel model of complex quantum harmonic oscillator is found to account for the observed Fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE). The sequences of the observed FQHE conductivity and charge are explained. The two sequences are found to…

We consider the ground-state properties of the s=1/2 Ising chain in a transverse field which varies regularly along the chain having a period of alternation 2. Such a model, similarly to its uniform counterpart, exhibits quantum phase…
