SIMIS Seminar on Field Theory and String Theory: Chiral graviton modes in quantum Hall liquids
Speaker: Lingjie Du (School of Physics Nanjing University, China) Abstract: Gravitons are hypothetical neutral spin-2 bosons[1]. In the fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state at filling factor v = 1/3, a chiral graviton mode is predicted as quantum of metric fluctuations under a new quantum geometry description [2,3,4], which could be described by the corresponding Fierz-Pauli …
