Tremendous theoretical and experimental developments have recently been made in the sphere of the quantum Hall effect. Among them a field-theoretical approach has presented a fascinating unified physical picture. A most significant feature of the quantum Hall system is that exotic phenomena associated with statistics transmutation are realized. For instance, an electron may undergo Bose condensation by making a charge-flux composite, and fractionally charged excitations (anyons) emerge as quasiparticles. A pedagogical and self-contained discussion on monolayer and bilayer quantum Hall systems is given in a field-theoretical framework, together with an introduction to quantum field theory, anyon physics and Chern-Simons gauge theory. Only knowledge of quantum mechanics is assumed.This invaluable book will be of great interest to students and researchers in condensed-matter, theoretical, particle and mathematical physics.
Quantum field theory: quantum mechanics; quantum field theory; canonical quantization; spontaneous symmetry breaking; electromagnetic field; topological solitons; anyons. Monolayer quantum Hall systems: Landau quantization; quantum Hall effects; quasiparticles and activation energy; field theory of composite particles; composite bosons and semiclassical analysis; quantum Hall ferromagnets; spin textures; hierarchy of fractional quantum Hall states; edge effects. Bilayer quantum Hall systems: SU(2) pseudospin structure; bilayer-locked states; interlayer-coherent states; skyrmions in SU(4)-invariant regime; bilayer quantum-Hall junction. Algebraic approach: lowest-Landau-level projection; quantum Hall effects in algebraic approach; effective Hamiltonian in algebraic approach; electric currents in bilayer systems.
