Fractional charge and inter-Landau level states at points of singular curvature
Rudro R. Biswas, Dam T. Son
The quest for universal signatures of topological phases is fundamentally important since these properties are robust to variations in system-specific details. Here we present gene…
Operator Product Expansion and Conservation Laws in Non-Relativistic Conformal Field Theories
Siavash Golkar, Dam T. Son
We explore the consequences of conformal symmetry for the operator product expansions in nonrelativistic field theories. Similar to the relativistic case, the OPE coefficients of d…
Hydrodynamics on the lowest Landau level
Michael Geracie, Dam Thanh Son
Using the recently developed approach to quantum Hall physics based on Newton-Cartan geometry, we consider the hydrodynamics of an interacting system on the lowest Landau level. We…
The Euler current and relativistic parity odd transport
Siavash Golkar, Matthew M. Roberts, Dam T. Son
For a spacetime of odd dimensions endowed with a unit vector field, we introduce a new topological current that is identically conserved and whose charge is equal to the Euler char…
Thermal Transport in a Noncommutative Hydrodynamics
Michael Geracie, Dam Thanh Son
We find the hydrodynamic equations of a system of particles constrained to be in the lowest Landau level. We interpret the hydrodynamic theory as a Hamiltonian system with the Pois…
Spacetime Symmetries of the Quantum Hall Effect
Michael Geracie, Dam Thanh Son, Chaolun Wu +1
We study the symmetries of non-relativistic systems with an emphasis on applications to the fractional quantum Hall effect. A source for the energy current of a Galilean system is…
Lorentz Invariance in Chiral Kinetic Theory
Jing-Yuan Chen, Dam T. Son, Mikhail A. Stephanov +2
We show that Lorentz invariance is realized nontrivially in the classical action of a massless spin- particle with definite helicity. We find that the ordinary Lorentz tra…
Effective Field Theory of Relativistic Quantum Hall Systems
Siavash Golkar, Matthew M. Roberts, Dam Thanh Son
Motivated by the observation of the fractional quantum Hall effect in graphene, we consider the effective field theory of relativistic quantum Hall states. We find that, beside the…
Effective field theory for fluids: Hall viscosity from a Wess-Zumino-Witten term
Michael Geracie, Dam Thanh Son
We propose an effective action that describe a relativistic fluid with Hall viscosity. The construction involves a Wess-Zumino-Witten term that exists only in (2+1) spacetime dimen…
