Symmetry breaking in Laughlin's state on a cylinder

Jansen, Sabine · Lieb, Elliott H. · Seiler, Ruedi

Original · EN

We investigate Laughlin's fractional quantum Hall effect wave function on a cylinder. We show that it displays translational symmetry breaking in the axial direction for sufficiently thin cylinders. At filling factor 1/p, the period is p times the period of the filled lowest Landau level. The proof uses a connection with one-dimensional polymer systems and discrete renewal equations.
