From composite fermions to the Calogero-Sutherland model: Edge of the fractional quantum Hall liquid and the dimension reduction
Yue Yu
Abstract
We derive a microscopic model describing low-lying edge excitations in a fractional quantum Hall liquid with $\ensuremath{\nu}={\ensuremath{\nu}}^{*}/(\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\varphi}}{\ensuremath{\nu}}^{*}+1).$ For ${\ensuremath{\nu}}^{*}>0,$ it is found that the composite-fermion model reduces to an $\mathrm{SU}({\ensuremath{\nu}}^{*})$ Calogero-Sutherland model in a dimension reduction, whereas it is not exactly soluble for ${\ensuremath{\nu}}^{*}<0.$ However, the ground states in both cases can be found, and the low-lying excitations can show chiral Luttinger-liquid behaviors. On the other hand, we show that the finite-temperature behavior of the $G\ensuremath{-}T$ curve will deviate from the prediction of the chiral Luttinger liquid. We also point out that the suppression of the ``spin'' degrees of freedom agrees with very recent experiments by Chang et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 2538 (1996)]. The two-boson model of Lee and Wen (preprint, cond-mat/9801318) is described microscopically.
