Relevance of inter-composite fermion interaction to the edge Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid

arXiv:cond-mat/0207615 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.89.096801

Abstract

It is shown that Wen's effective theory correctly describes the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid at the edge of a system of non-interacting composite fermions. However, the weak residual interaction between composite fermions appears to be a relevant perturbation. The filling factor dependence of the Tomonaga-Luttinger parameter is estimated for interacting composite fermions in a microscopic approach and satisfactory agreement with experiment is achieved. It is suggested that the electron field operator may not have a simple representation in the effective one dimensional theory.
