Application of path-integral quantization to indistinguishable particle systems topologically confined by a magnetic field

Abstract

We demonstrate an original development of path-integral quantization in the case of a multiply connected configuration space of indistinguishable charged particles on a 2D manifold and exposed to a strong perpendicular magnetic field. The system occurs to be exceptionally homotopy-rich and the structure of the homotopy essentially depends on the magnetic field strength resulting in multi loop trajectories at specific conditions. We have proved, by a generalization of the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule, that the size of a magnetic field flux quantum grows for multi loop orbits like $(2k+1)\frac{h}{c}$ with the number of loops $k$. Utilizing this property for electrons on the 2D substrate jellium we have derived upon the path integration a complete FQHE hierarchy in excellent consistence with experiments. The path-integral has been next developed to a sum over configurations, displaying various patterns of trajectory homotopies (topological configurations), which in the nonstationary case of quantum kinetics reproduces some unclear formerly details in the longitudinal resistivity observed in experiments.
