Effective Chern-Simons Theories of Pfaffian and Parafermionic Quantum Hall States, and Orbifold Conformal Field Theories

Eduardo Fradkin, Marina Huerta, Guillermo Zemba

We present a pure Chern-Simons formulation of families of interesting Conformal Field Theories describing edge states of non-Abelian Quantum Hall states. These theories contain two…
