We introduce a new field theory for studying quantum Hall systems. The quantum field is a modified version of the bosonic operator introduced by Read. In contrast to Read's original work we do not work in the lowest Landau level alone, and this leads to a much simpler formalism. We identify an appropriate canonical conjugate field, and write a Hamiltonian that governs the exact dynamics of our bosonic field operators. We describe a Lagrangian formalism, derive the equations of motion for the fields and present a family of mean-field solutions. Finally, we show that these mean field solutions are precisely the Laughlin states. We do not, in this work, address the treatment of fluctuations.

We study the quantum field theory of non-relativistic bosons coupled to a Chern-Simons gauge field at nonzero particle density. This field theory is relevant to the study of anyon superconductors in which the anyons are described as bosons with a statistical interaction. We show that it is possible to find a mean field solution to the equations of motion for this system which has some of the features of Bose condensation. The mean field solution consists of a lattice of vortices each carrying a single quantum of statistical magnetic flux. We speculate on the effects of the quantum corrections to this mean field solution. We argue that the mean field solution is only stable under quantum corrections if the Chern-Simons coefficient N=2πθ/g2 is an integer. Consequences for anyon superconductivity are presented. A simple explanation for the Meissner effect in this system is discussed.

Lowest Landau Level

We propose a new way for describing the transition between two quantum Hall effect states with different filling factors within the framework of rational conformal field theory. Using a particular class of nonunitary theories, we explicitly recover Jain’s picture of attaching flux quanta by the fusion rules of primary fields. Filling higher Landau levels of composite fermions can be described by taking tensor products of conformal theories. The usual projection to the lowest Landau level corresponds then to a simple coset of these tensor products with several U(1)-theories divided out. These two operations — the fusion map and the tensor map — can explain the Jain series and all other observed fractions as exceptional cases. Within our scheme of transitions we naturally find a field with the experimentally observed universal critical exponent 7/3.

In the framework of collective field theory, We apply the Chern-Simon field theory treatment to the constraint equation for the lowest Landau level to investigate the generic properties for the quasi-particles of the FQH system. It shows a transparent connection to the Laughlin's wave functions. If we take an average over the wave functional for the constraint equation, the resulted equation can be interpreted as the vortex equation for the fractionally charged quasi-particles. Introducing a generalized ρ (density)-ϑ (phase) transformation, not only the fractional statistics and the hierarchy scheme can be drawn from the constraint equation, it also gives rise an interesting picture that vortices condense as a Halperin like wave fuction on a Laughlin like background condensate of ν=1/m.
