The edge states of the quantum Hall effect carry representations of chiral current algebras and their associated groups. In the simplest case of a single filled Landau level, I demonstrate explicitly how the group action affects the many-body states, and why the Kac-Peterson cocycle appears in the group multiplication law. I show how these representations may be used to construct vertex operators which create localised edge excitations, and indicate how they are related to the bulk quasi-particles.

There is a topological connection between the boundary excitations of a quantum Hall fluid and the quantum numbers of its vortex-like bulk quasi-particles. I use this connection to examine the group properties of vortex excitations in a generalized quantum Hall fluid, and show how the vortex trajectories become Wilson lines interacting via Chern-Simons fields. As a result, I argue that non-abelian statistics, if they exist, should be independent of the detailed properties of the many-body wavefunction and will depend only on the bulk Hall conductivity tensor.

The nature of fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states is determined by the interplay between the Coulomb interaction and the symmetries of the system. The distinct combination of spin, valley, and orbital degeneracies in bilayer graphene is predicted to produce an unusual and tunable sequence of FQH states. Here, we present local electronic compressibility measurements of the FQH effect in the lowest Landau level of bilayer graphene. We observe incompressible FQH states at filling factors ν = 2p + 2/3, with hints of additional states appearing at ν = 2p + 3/5, where p = –2, –1, 0, and 1. This sequence breaks particle-hole symmetry and obeys a ν → ν + 2 symmetry, which highlights the importance of the orbital degeneracy for many-body states in bilayer graphene.

Free fermion systems enjoy a privileged place in physics. With their simple structure they can explain a variety of effects, ranging from insulating and metallic behaviours to superconductivity and the integer quantum Hall effect. Interactions, e.g. in the form of Coulomb repulsion, can dramatically alter this picture by giving rise to emerging physics that may not resemble free fermions. Examples of such phenomena include high-temperature superconductivity, fractional quantum Hall effect, Kondo effect and quantum spin liquids. The non-perturbative behaviour of such systems remains a major obstacle to their theoretical understanding that could unlock further technological applications. Here, we present a pedagogical review of “interaction distance" [Nat. Commun. 8, 14926 (2017)] – a systematic method that quantifies the effect interactions can have on the energy spectrum and on the quantum correlations of generic many-body systems. In particular, the interaction distance is a diagnostic tool that identifies the emergent physics of interacting systems. We illustrate this method on the simple example of a two-site Fermi-Hubbard model.
