- đ Venue: TCM Seminar Room, Cavendish Laboratory
Abstract
The fundamental collective degree of freedom of fractional quantum Hall states is identified as a unimodular two-dimensional spatial metric that characterizes the local shape of the correlations of the incompressible fluid. Its quantum fluctuations are controlled by a topologically-quantized “guiding-center spin”. Charge fluctuations are proportional to its Gaussian curvature.
