Geometric response of quantum Hall states to electric fields
2021
Exploiting novel aspects of the quantum geometry of charged particles in a magnetic field via gauge-invariant variables, we provide tangible connections between the response of quantum Hall fluids to non-uniform electric fields and the characteristic geometry of electronic motion in the presence of magnetic and electric fields. The geometric picture we provide motivates the following conjecture: non-uniform electric fields mimic the presence of spatial curvature. Consequently, the gravitational coupling constant also appears in the charge response to non-uniform electric fields.
