Specifically, we propose to look at the quantum Hall ferromagnet. In this system, the electron spins are ordered in the ground state due to the exchange part of the Coulomb interaction and the Pauli exclusion principle. The low energy excitations are ferromagnetic magnons. To provide a means for describing these magnons, we shall discuss a method of introducing collective coordinates in the Hilbert space of many-fermion systems. These collective coordinates are bosonic in nature. They map a part of the fermionic Hilbert space into a bosonic Hilbert space. Using this technique, we shall interpret the magnons as bosonic collective ex citations in the Hilbert space of the many-electron Hall system. By considering a Hall droplet of finite extent, we shall also obtain the effective Lagrangian governing the spin collective excitations at the edge of the sample.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-01-31T18:22:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum hall ferromagnet", "edge excitations", "low energy excitations", "quantum hall droplet", "many-electron hall system" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "Plain TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 552690 } } }
