We show that it displays translational symmetry breaking in the axial direction for sufficiently thin cylinders. At filling factor 1/p, the period is p times the period of the filled lowest Landau level. The proof uses a connection with one-dimensional polymer systems and discrete renewal equations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2008-08-15T15:01:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "symmetry breaking", "laughlins state", "quantum hall effect wave function", "laughlins fractional quantum hall effect", "fractional quantum hall effect wave" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Springer", "journal": "Communications in Mathematical Physics", "year": 2009, "month": "Jan", "volume": 285, "number": 2, "pages": 503 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009CMaPh.285..503J" } } }
