Two classes of Conformal Field Theories have been proposed to describe the Hierarchical Quantum Hall Effect: the multicomponent bosonic theory, characterized by the symmetry [Formula: see text] and the W1+∞ minimal models with central charge c=m. In spite of having the same spectrum of edge excitations, they manifest differences in the degeneracy of the states and in the quantum statistics, which call for a more detailed comparison between them. Here, we describe their detailed relation for the general case, c=m and extend the methods previously published for c≤3. Specifically, we obtain the reduction in the number of degrees of freedom from the multicomponent Abelian theory to the minimal models by decomposing the characters of the [Formula: see text] representations into those of the c=mW1+∞ minimal models. Furthermore, we find the Hamiltonian whose renormalization group flow interpolates between the two models, having the W1+∞ minimal models as an infrared fixed point.

We study the quantum Hall transition using the density–density correlation function. We show that in the limit ℏ → 0 the electron density moves along the percolating trajectories, undergoing normal diffusion. The localization exponent coincides with its percolation value ν=4/3. The framework provides a natural way to study the renormalization group flow from percolation to quantum Hall transition. We also confirm numerically that the critical conductivity of a classical limit of quantum Hall transition is [Formula: see text].
