Entanglement Entropy of Quantum Hall Systems at Half Filling

The entanglement entropy of $ν=1/2$ and $ν=9/2$ quantum Hall states in the presence of short range disorder has been calculated by direct diagonalization. Spin polarized electrons are confined to a single Landau level and interact with long range Coulomb interaction. For $ν=1/2$ the entanglement entropy is a smooth monotonic function of disorder strength. For $ν=9/2$ the entanglement entropy is non monotonic suggestive of a solid-liquid phase transition. As a model of the transition at $ν=1/2$ free fermions with disorder in 2 dimensions were studied. Numerical evidence suggests the entanglement entropy scales as $L$ rather than the $L \ln{L}$ as in the disorder free case.

Entanglement Entropy of Random Fractional Quantum Hall Systems

The entanglement entropy of the $ν= 1/3$ and $ν= 5/2$ quantum Hall states in the presence of short range random disorder has been calculated by direct diagonalization. A microscopic model of electron-electron interaction is used, electrons are confined to a single Landau level and interact with long range Coulomb interaction. For very weak disorder, the values of the topological entanglement entropy are roughly consistent with expected theoretical results. By considering a broader range of disorder strengths, the fluctuation in the entanglement entropy was studied in an effort to detect quantum phase transitions. In particular, there is a clear signature of a transition as a function of the disorder strength for the $ν= 5/2$ state. Prospects for using the density matrix renormalization group to compute the entanglement entropy for larger system sizes are discussed.

An introduction to wonderful varieties with many examples of type F4

We give an introduction to the theory of wonderful G-varieties, with many examples when G is simple of type F4. We present results and open problems about these varieties: on their classification, on their isotropy groups, on morphisms between them, and on their relations with the representation theory of G.
