Quantum theory of the Hall effect

Abstract: We discuss a model of both the classical and the integer quantum Hall effect which is based on a semiclassical SchriSdinger-Chera-Simons action, where the Ohm equations result as equations of motion. The quantization of the classical Chern-Simons part of action under typical quantum Hall conditions results in the quantized Hall conductivity. We show further that the classical Hall effect is described by a theory which arises as the classical limit of a theory of the quantum Hall effect. The model also explains… Show more

“…yielding the correct statistics phase factor even in the ABAC inspired picture. 5 Thus, if the picture is true, a prerequesite for building the macroscopic Bose-condensed QHE state, is the validity of the Chern-Simons dynamics, a fact emphasized by Fröhlich, Balachandran, and others [16,17,18]. Recently, Ghabhoussi claimed the fundamental validity of the Chern-Simons Lagrangian for the integral quantum Hall effect [18].…”

It can be proven [12,13] that this factor system corresponds to the Landau gauge, used in many papers [8,14]. Discussion on a form of vector potential and gauge invariance lies beyond the scope of this work and it is presented elsewhere [12].…”
