We propose a general mechanism for the renormalization of the tunnelling exponents in edge states of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Mutual effects of the coupling with out-of-equilibrium 1/ f noise and dissipation are considered for both the Laughlin sequence and the composite co-and counter-propagating edge states with Abelian or non-Abelian statistics. For states with counter-propagating modes, we demonstrate the robustness of the proposed mechanism in the so-called disorder-dominated phase. Prototypes of these states, such as ν = 2/3 and ν = 5/2, are discussed in detail, and the rich phenomenology induced by the presence of a noisy environment is presented. The proposed mechanism could help justify the strong renormalizations reported in many experimental observations carried out at low temperatures. We show how environmental effects could affect the relevance of the tunnelling excitations, leading to important implications, in particular for the ν = 5/2 case. bias. However, with decreasing the temperature, the observed peak turns into a completely unexpected dip.Anomalous current/voltage characteristics have been measured also for other filling factors such as ν = 2/5 in the Jain sequence [28]. Furthermore, renormalizations of the χLL exponents are sometimes crucial to fully explain the measured crossover of the tunnelling charges at low temperatures [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].Possible explanations for these disagreements have been traced back to the inhomogeneity of the filling factor below the QPC due to the action of the electrostatic gates [27,36] or to an energy-dependent tunnelling amplitude caused by the extended nature of the contact [37,38]. Alternatively, various mechanisms leading to the renormalization of the Luttinger parameters through coupling with external environments have been proposed. They range from the coupling with 1D phonons [39,40], edge reconstruction induced by the smoothness of the confinement potential [41], possible Coulomb interaction between the different edges [42,43], to interactions with a compressible component of a composite fermion liquid with very small longitudinal conductivity [44,45] or to the coupling with electromagnetic environments [46][47][48][49].Many of these approaches have focused on the Laughlin case and cannot be easily extended to composite edge states where anomalous behaviours are usually observed. In particular, many of the above mechanisms are not robust against the disorder-induced intra-edge electron tunnelling, an unavoidable effect in real samples responsible for the equilibration of the different channels. This is a crucial ingredient in explaining the universal quantization of the conductance in the presence of counter-propagating modes [7, 15-17, 23, 50].Recently, Dalla Torre et al [51,52] observed that the interplay between the 1/ f noise generated by the external environment and the dissipation induced by the cooling setup could lead to a renormalization of the Luttinger parameter for 1D systems of cold atoms.In this paper, we will ...
