Non-diagonal anisotropic quantum Hall states

Abstract

We propose a family of Abelian quantum Hall states termed the non-diagonal states, which arise at filling factors $\nu =p/2q$ for bosonic systems and $\nu =p/(p+2q)$ for fermionic systems, with $p$ and $q$ being two coprime integers. Non-diagonal quantum Hall states are constructed in a coupled wire model, which shows an intimate relation to the non-diagonal conformal field theory and has a constrained pattern of motion for bulk quasiparticles, featuring a non-trivial interplay between charge symmetry and translation symmetry. The non-diagonal state is established as a distinctive symmetry-enriched topological order. Aside from the usual $U(1)$ charge sector, there is an additional symmetry-enriched neutral sector described by the quantum double model $\mathcal{D}({\mathbb{Z}}_p)$, which relies on the presence of both the $U(1)$ charge symmetry and the $\mathbb{Z}$ translation symmetry of the wire model. Translation symmetry distinguishes non-diagonal states from Laughlin states, in a way similar to how it distinguishes weak topological insulators from trivial band insulators. Moreover, the translation symmetry in non-diagonal states can be associated to the $\mathbf{e}\leftrightarrow \mathbf{m}$ anyonic symmetry in $\mathcal{D}({\mathbb{Z}}_p)$, implying the role of dislocations as two-fold twist-defects. The boundary theory of non-diagonal states is derived microscopically. For the edge perpendicular to the direction of wires, the effective Hamiltonian has two components: a chiral Luttinger liquid and a generalized $p$-state clock model. Importantly, translation symmetry in the bulk is realized as self-duality on the edge. The symmetric edge is thus either gapless or gapped with spontaneously broken symmetry. For $p=2,3$, the respective electron tunneling exponents are predicted for experimental probes.
