The Quantum Hall Effect: Unified Scaling Theory and Quasi-particles at the Edge

Abstract

We address two fundamental issues in the physics of the quantum Hall effect: a unified description of scaling behavior of conductances in the integral and fractional regimes, and a quasi-particle formulation of the chiral Luttinger Liquids that describe the dynamics of edge excitations in the fractional regime.
