Lectures on the Quantum Hall Effect
by David Tong
Publisher: University of Cambridge 2016
Number of pages: 234
Description:
The purpose of these lectures is to describe the basic theoretical structures underlying the rich and beautiful physics of the quantum Hall effect. The focus is on the interplay between microscopic wavefunctions, long-distance effective Chern-Simons theories, and the modes which live on the boundary.
