Group Structure of Wilson Loops in 2D Models with 2- and 4-Band Energy Spectra

We consider a tight-binding model defined by a matrix Hamiltonian over 2D Brillouin zone. Multiband energy spectrum gives rise to a non-Abelian gauge structure set by the Berry connections. The corresponding curvature $F_{μν}$ vanishes throughout the Brillouin zone except an isolated points where $F_{μν}$ is singular. Combining the singular behaviour of $F_{μν}$ with non-Abelian Stokes theorem allows to avoid the path ordering procedure in studying the structure of Wilson loops. 2D models with 2-band and 4-band energy spectra are considered as a demonstrative examples and the group structure of the corresponding Wilson loops is revealed.

Edge States of a Periodic Chain with Four-Band Energy Spectrum

Tight-binding model on a finite chain is studied with four-fold alternated hopping parameters $t_{1,2,3,4}$. Imposing the open boundary conditions, the corresponding recursion is solved analytically with special attention paid to the occurrence of edge states. Corresponding results are strongly corroborated by numeric calculations. It is shown that in the system there exist four different edge phases if the number of sites is odd, and eight edges phases if the chain comprises even number of sites. Phases are labelled by $σ_1\equiv{\rm sgn}(t_1t_3-t_2t_4)$, $σ_2\equiv{\rm sgn}(t_1t_4-t_2t_3)$ and $σ_3\equiv{\rm sgn}(t_1t_2-t_3t_4)$. It is shown that these quantities represent gauge invariant topological indices emerging in the corresponding infinite chains.

Edge states in 2D lattices with hopping anisotropy and Chebyshev polynomials

Analytic technique based on Chebyshev polynomials is developed for studying two-dimensional lattice ribbons with hopping anisotropy. In particular, the tight-binding models on square and triangle lattice ribbons are investigated with anisotropic nearest neighbouring hoppings. For special values of hopping parameters the square lattice becomes topologically equivalent to a honeycomb one either with zigzag or armchair edges. In those cases as well as for triangle lattices we perform the exact analytic diagonalization of tight-binding Hamiltonians in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. Deep inside the edge state subband the wave functions exhibit exponential spatial damping which turns into power-law damping at edge-bulk transition point. It is shown that strong hopping anisotropy crashes down edge states, and the corresponding critical conditions are found.

The Study of Goldstone Modes in $ν$=2 Bilayer Quantum Hall Systems

At the filling factor $ν$=2, the bilayer quantum Hall system has three phases, the spin-ferromagnet phase, the spin singlet phase and the canted antiferromagnet (CAF) phase, depending on the relative strength between the Zeeman energy and interlayer tunneling energy. We present a systematic method to derive the effective Hamiltonian for the Goldstone modes in these three phases. We then investigate the dispersion relations and the coherence lengths of the Goldstone modes. To explore a possible emergence of the interlayer phase coherence, we analyze the dispersion relations in the zero tunneling energy limit. We find one gapless mode with the linear dispersion relation in the CAF phase.

On the NCCS model of the quantum Hall fluid

Area non-preserving transformations in the non-commutative plane are introduced with the aim to map the $ν=1$ integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) state on the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) $ν=\frac{1}{2p+1}$ FQHE states. Using the hydrodynamical description of the quantum Hall fluid, it is shown that these transformations are generated by vector fields satisfying the Gauss law in the interacting non-commutative Chern-Simons gauge theory, and the corresponding field-theory Lagrangian is reconstructed. It is demonstrated that the geometric transformations induce quantum-mechanical non-unitary similarity transformations, establishing the interplay between integral and fractional QHEs.

Anomalous Hall Resistance in Bilayer Quantum Hall Systems

We present a microscopic theory of the Hall current in the bilayer quantum Hall system on the basis of noncommutative geometry. By analyzing the Heisenberg equation of motion and the continuity equation of charge, we demonstrate the emergence of the phase current in a system where the interlayer phase coherence develops spontaneously. The phase current arranges itself to minimize the total energy of the system, as induces certain anomalous behaviors in the Hall current in the counterflow geometry and also in the drag experiment. They explain the recent experimental data for anomalous Hall resistances due to Kellogg et al. [M. Kellogg, I.B. Spielman, J.P. Eisenstein, L.N. Pfeiffer and K.W. West, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{88} (2002) 126804; M. Kellogg, J.P. Eisenstein, L.N. Pfeiffer and K.W. West, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{93} (2004) 036801] and Tutuc et al. [E. Tutuc, M. Shayegan and D.A. Huse, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{93} (2004) 036802] at $ν=1$.

Microscopic Theory of Skyrmions in Quantum Hall Ferromagnets

We present a microscopic theory of skyrmions in the monolayer quantum Hall ferromagnet. It is a peculiar feature of the system that the number density and the spin density are entangled intrinsically as dictated by the W$%_{\infty}$ algebra. The skyrmion and antiskyrmion states are constructed as W$_{\infty }$-rotated states of the hole-excited and electron-excited states, respectively. They are spin textures accompanied with density modulation that decreases the Coulomb energy. We calculate their excitation energy as a function of the Zeeman gap and compared the result with experimental data.

Topological Solitons in Noncommutative Plane and Quantum Hall Skyrmions

We analyze topological solitons in the noncommutative plane by taking a concrete instance of the quantum Hall system with the SU(N) symmetry, where a soliton is identified with a skyrmion. It is shown that a topological soliton induces an excitation of the electron number density from the ground-state value around it. When a judicious choice of the topological charge density $J_{0}(\mathbf{x})$ is made, it acquires a physical reality as the electron density excitation $Δρ^{\text{cl}}(\mathbf{x})$ around a topological soliton, $Δρ^{\text{cl}}(\mathbf{x})=-J_{0}(% \mathbf{x})$. Hence a noncommutative soliton carries necessarily the electric charge proportional to its topological charge. A field-theoretical state is constructed for a soliton state irrespectively of the Hamiltonian. In general it involves an infinitely many parameters. They are fixed by minimizing its energy once the Hamiltonian is chosen. We study explicitly the cases where the system is governed by the hard-core interaction and by the noncommutative CP$^{N-1}$ model, where all these parameters are determined analytically and the soliton excitation energy is obtained.

Ground-State Structure in $ν=2$ Bilayer Quantum Hall Systems

We investigate the ground-state structure of the bilayer quantum Hall system at the filling factor $ν=2$. Making an exact analysis of the ground state in the SU(4)-invariant limit, we include all other interactions as small perturbation. We carry out analytic calculations and construct phase diagrams for nonzero values of the Zeeman, tunneling and bias interactions. In particular we examine carefully how the phase transition occurs by applying the bias voltage and inducing a density imbalance between the two layers. We compare our theoretical result with the experimental data due to Sawada et al. based on the phase diagram in the $σ_{0}$-$ρ_{0}$ plane, where $ρ_{0}$ and $σ_{0}$ are the total electron density and the density difference between the two layers, respectively.

SU(4) Skyrmions and Activation Energy Anomaly in Bilayer Quantum Hall Systems

The bilayer QH system has four energy levels in the lowest Landau level, corresponding to the layer and spin degrees of freedom. We investigate the system in the regime where all four levels are nearly degenerate and equally active. The underlying group structure is SU(4). At $ν=1$ the QH state is a charge-transferable state between the two layers and the SU(4) isospin coherence develops spontaneously. Quasiparticles are isospin textures to be identified with SU(4) skyrmions. The skyrmion energy consists of the Coulomb energy, the Zeeman energy and the pseudo-Zeeman energy. The Coulomb energy consists of the self-energy, the capacitance energy and the exchange energy. At the balanced point only pseudospins are excited unless the tunneling gap is too large. Then, the SU(4) skyrmion evolves continuously from the pseudospin-skyrmion limit into the spin-skyrmion limit as the system is transformed from the balanced point to the monolayer point by controlling the bias voltage. Our theoretical result explains quite well the experimental data due to Murphy et al. and Sawada et al. on the activation energy anomaly induced by applying parallel magnetic field.

Area Preserving Transformations in Non-commutative Space and NCCS Theory

We propose an heuristic rule for the area transformation on the non-commutative plane. The non-commutative area preserving transformations are quantum deformation of the classical symplectic diffeomorphisms. Area preservation condition is formulated as a field equation in the non-commutative Chern-Simons gauge theory. The higher dimensional generalization is suggested and the corresponding algebraic structure - the infinite dimensional $\sin$-Lie algebra is extracted. As an illustrative example the second-quantized formulation for electrons in the lowest Landau level is considered.

Noncommutative Geometry, Extended W(infty) Algebra and Grassmannian Solitons in Multicomponent Quantum Hall Systems

Noncommutative geometry governs the physics of quantum Hall (QH) effects. We introduce the Weyl ordering of the second quantized density operator to explore the dynamics of electrons in the lowest Landau level. We analyze QH systems made of $N$-component electrons at the integer filling factor $ν=k\leq N$. The basic algebra is the SU(N)-extended W$_{\infty}$. A specific feature is that noncommutative geometry leads to a spontaneous development of SU(N) quantum coherence by generating the exchange Coulomb interaction. The effective Hamiltonian is the Grassmannian $G_{N,k}$ sigma model, and the dynamical field is the Grassmannian $G_{N,k}$ field, describing $k(N-k)$ complex Goldstone modes and one kind of topological solitons (Grassmannian solitons).

Geometric Transformations and NCCS Theory in the Lowest Landau Level

Chern-Simons type gauge field is generated by the means of the singular area preserving transformations in the lowest Landau level of electrons forming fractional quantum Hall state. Dynamics is governed by the system of constraints which correspond to the Gauss law in the non-commutative Chern-Simons gauge theory and to the lowest Landau level condition in the picture of composite fermions. Physically reasonable solution to this constraints corresponds to the Laughlin state. It is argued that the model leads to the non-commutative Chern-Simons theory of the QHE and composite fermions.

Exact Symmetries of Electron Interactions in the Lowest Landau Level

Considering the system of interacting electrons in the lowest Landau level we show that the corresponding four-fermion Hamiltonian is invariant with respect to the local area-preserving transformations. Testing a certain class of interaction potentials, we find that this symmetry is universal with respect to a concrete type of potentials.

Magnetic Instability in a Parity Invariant 2D Fermion System

We consider the parity invariant (2+1)-dimensional QED where the matter is represented as a mixture of fermions with opposite spins. It is argued that the perturbative ground state of the system is unstable with respect to the formation of magnetized ground state. Carrying out the finite temperature analysis we show that the magnetic instability disappears in the high temperature regime.

Chern-Simons Theory and Quantum Fields in the Lowest Landau Level

By considering the area preserving geometric transformations in the configuration space of electrons moving in the lowest Landau level (LLL) we arrive at the Chern-Simons type Lagrangian. Imposing the LLL condition, we get a scheme with the complex gauge fields and transformations. Quantum theory for the matter field in LLL is considered and formal expressions for Read's operator and Laughlin wave function are presented in the second quantized form.

On the Meissner effect in the Relativistic Anyon superconductors

The relativistic model with two types of planar fermions interacting with the Chern-Simons and Maxwell fields is applied to the study of anyon superconductor. It is demonstrated, that the Meissner effect can be realized in the case of the simultaneous presence of the fermions with a different magnetic moment interactions. Under the certain conditions there occures an extra plateau at the magnetization curve. In the order under consideration the spectrum of the electromagnetic field excitations contains the long-range interaction and one massive "photon" state.
