A non-Abelian twist to integer quantum Hall states

Published 25 Jan 2019 in cond-mat.str-el | (1901.09043v2)

Abstract: Through a theoretical coupled wire model, we construct strongly correlated electronic \emph{integer} quantum Hall states. As a distinguishing feature, these states support electric and thermal Hall transport violating the Wiedemann-Franz law as $\left(\kappa_{xy}/\sigma_{xy}\right)/\left[\left(\pi{2}k_{B}{2}T\right)/3e{2}\right]<1$.We propose a new Abelian incompressible fluid at filling $\nu=16$ that supports a bosonic chiral $(E_{8}){1}$ conformal field theory at the edge and is intimately related to topological paramagnets in (3+1)D. We further show that this topological phase can be partitioned into two non-Abelian quantum Hall states at filling $\nu=8$, each carrying bosonic chiral $(G{2}){1}$ or $(F{4}){1}$ edge theories, and hosting Fibonacci anyonic excitations in the bulk. Finally, we discover a new notion of particle-hole conjugation based on the $E{8}$ state that relates the $G_{2}$ and $F_{4}$ Fibonacci states.
