Connected Skyrmion behavior to edge effects in FQHE
Provided a new theoretical perspective on Skyrmions in quantum Hall systems
Abstract
We discuss the properties of Skyrmions in the Fractional Quantum Hall effect (FQHE). We begin with a brief description of the Chern-Simons-Landau-Ginzburg description of the FQHE, which provides the framework in which to understand a new derivation of the properties of FQHE Skyrmions (S. Baez, A.P. Balachandran, A. Stern and A. Travesset cond-mat/9712151) from anomaly and edge considerations.
