Fermions in the Lowest Landau Level: Bosonization, $W_{\infty}$ Algebra, Droplets, Chiral Boson

We present field theoretical descriptions of massless (2+1) dimensional nonrelativistic fermions in an external magnetic field, in terms of a fermionic and bosonic second quantized language. An infinite dimensional algebra, $W_{\infty}$, appears as the algebra of unitary transformations which preserve the lowest Landau level condition and the particle number. In the droplet approximation it reduces to the algebra of area-preserving diffeomorphisms, which is responsible for the existence of a universal chiral boson Lagrangian independent of the electrostatic potential. We argue that the bosonic droplet approximation is the strong magnetic field limit of the fermionic theory. The relation to the $c=1$ string model is discussed.

One-Dimensional Fermions as Two-Dimensional Droplets Via Chern-Simons Theory

Based on the observation that a particle motion in one dimension maps to a two-dimensional motion of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field, constrained in the lowest Landau level, we formulate a system of one-dimen- sional nonrelativistic fermions by using a Chern-Simons field theory in 2+1 dimensions. Using a hydrodynamical formulation we obtain a two-dimensional droplet picture of one-dimensional fermions. The dynamics involved is that of the boundary between a uniform density of particles and vortices. We use the sharp boundary approximation. In the case of well separated boundaries we derive the one-dimensional collective field Hamiltonian. Symmetries of the theory are also discussed as properties of curves in two dimensions.
