The Effects of Electron-Electron Interactions on the Integer Quantum Hall Transitions

Abstract

We study the effects of electron-electron interaction on the critical properties of the plateau transitions in the {\it integer} quantum Hall effect. We find the renormalization group dimension associated with short-range interactions to be $-0.66\pm 0.04$. Thus the non-interacting fixed point (characterized $z=2$ and $\nu \approx 2.3$) is stable. For the Coulomb interaction, we find the correlation effect is a marginal perturbation at a Hartree-Fock fixed point ($z=1$, $\nu \approx 2.3$) by dimension counting. Further calculations are needed to determine its stability upon loop corrections.
