Anomalous Hydrodynamics of Fractional Quantum Hall States    [PDF]

P. Wiegmann
In this paper we propose a comprehensive framework for the quantum hydrodynamics of the Fractional Quantum Hall (FQH) states. We suggest that the electronic fluid in the FQH regime could be phenomenologically described by the quantized hydrodynamics of vortices in an incompressible rotating liquid. We demonstrate that such hydrodynamics captures all major features of FQH states including the subtle effect of Lorentz shear stress. We present a consistent quantization of hydrodynamics of an incompressible fluid providing a powerful framework to study FQHE and superfluid. We obtain the quantum hydrodynamics of the vortex flow by quantizing the Kirchhoff equations for vortex dynamics.
