Vortices in the Landau-Ginzburg model of the quantized Hall effect

  • 1. Departement de Mathematiques, Universite de Tours, Tours (France)

Description

The 'Landau-Ginzburg' theory of Girvin and MacDonald, modified by adding the natural magnetic term, is shown to admit stable topological as well as non-topological vortex solutions. The system is the common λ→0 limit of two slightly different non-relativistic Maxwell-Chern-Simons models of the type recently introduced by Manton. The equivalence with the model of Zhang, Hansson and Kivelson is demonstrated. (author)
