Hall viscosity of composite fermions

ORAL

Abstract

Hall viscosity, also known as the Lorentz shear modulus, has been proposed as a topological property of a quantum Hall fluid. Using a recent formulation of the composite fermion theory on the torus [1], we evaluate the Hall viscosities for a large number of fractional quantum Hall states at filling factors of the form ν=n/(2pn±1) [2], where n and p are integers. The calculated Hall viscosities ηA agree with the expression ηA =hSρ/8π, where ρ is the density and S is the ``shift'' in the spherical geometry [3]. We show that the Hall viscosity for ν=n/(2pn+1) may be derived analytically from the microscopic wave functions providing some assumption. This derivation is applicable to a class of states in the parton construction, which are products of integer quantum Hall states with magnetic fields pointing in the same direction [4].
