Fractional quantum Hall effect in a relativistic field theory
David B. Kaplan, Srimoyee Sen
We construct a class of 2+1 dimensional relativistic quantum field theories which exhibit the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect in the infrared, both in the continuum and on the latti…
Conformality Lost
David B. Kaplan, Jong-Wan Lee, Dam T. Son +1
We consider zero-temperature transitions from conformal to non-conformal phases in quantum theories. We argue that there are three generic mechanisms for the loss of conformality i…
Deconstructing (2,0) and Little String Theories
Nima Arkani-Hamed, Andrew G. Cohen, David B. Kaplan +2
We argue that two four-dimensional strongly coupled superconformal field theories, on the Higgs branch in certain large N limits, become respectively (2,0) theory and (1,1) little…
Solving the Hierarchy Problem with Noncompact Extra Dimensions
Andrew G. Cohen, David B. Kaplan
We show that gravitational effects of global cosmic 3-branes can be responsible for compactification from six to four space-time dimensions, naturally producing the observed hierar…
Effective Field Theory, Black Holes, and the Cosmological Constant
Andrew G. Cohen, David B. Kaplan, Ann E. Nelson
Bekenstein has proposed the bound S < pi M_P^2 L^2 on the total entropy S in a volume L^3. This non-extensive scaling suggests that quantum field theory breaks down in large volume…
Domain Wall Fermions and the Eta Invariant
David B. Kaplan, Martin Schmaltz
We extend work by Callan and Harvey and show how the phase of the chiral fermion determinant in four dimensions is reproduced by zeromodes bound to a domain wall in five dimensions…
