摘要:

量子霍尔态的拓扑物理学被有效地编码在陈-西蒙斯型的纯拓扑量子场论中。然而,在连续描述中可靠地包含低能动力学性质通常需要接近量子临界点。我们建立了一个场论,描述了从各向同性液体的量子跃迁到一个非对称的Laughlin液体。从各向同性侧接近与此过渡相关联的软模式被确定为熟悉的朗道内水平Girvin-MacDonald-Platzman模式。我们得到z=2的动态标度在临界点和描述的Goldstone和缺陷物理的一侧。尽管有非常不同的物理动机,我们的场论基本上是相同的,最近的“几何”场论的一个劳克林液体提出的Halflit。

英文摘要:

The topological physics of quantum Hall states is efficiently encoded in purely topological quantum field theories of the Chern-Simons type. The reliable inclusion of low-energy dynamical properties in a continuum description however typically requires proximity to a quantum critical point. We construct a field theory that describes the quantum transition from an isotropic to a nematic Laughlin liquid. The soft mode associated with this transition approached from the isotropic side is identified as the familiar intra-Landau level Girvin-MacDonald-Platzman mode. We obtain z=2 dynamic scaling at the critical point and a description of Goldstone and defect physics on the nematic side. Despite the very different physical motivation, our field theory is essentially identical to a recent "geometric" field theory for a Laughlin liquid proposed by Haldane.
