Hamiltonian theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect: Conserving approximation for incompressible fractions
A microscopic Hamiltonian theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect developed by Shankar and the present author based on the fermionic Chern-Simons approach has recently been quite successful in calculating gaps and finite-tempertature properties in fractional quantum Hall states. Initially proposed as a small-$q$ theory, it was subsequently extended by …
