We derive an effective topological field theory model of the four dimensional quantum Hall liquid state recently constructed by Zhang and Hu. Using a generalization of the flux attachment transformation, the effective field theory can be formulated as a U (1) Chern-Simons theory over the total confi

We discuss the microscopic mechanism for the onset of dissipation in a quantum Hall system. Based on general results on the time dependence of the states in a disorder-broadened Landau band in the presence of a macroscopic electric field E, it is found that the mobility edges move from the band cent
The optimized expansion for the effective action in quantum field theory is discussed to second order. As an example we use the scalar quantum field theory with \(\lambda \phi^{4}\) interaction in one-dimensional space-time, which is equivalent to quantum mechanics of the anharmonic ascillator. The
