With magnetic fields, and in particular, for Quantum Hall Systems, this splitting corresponds to edge and bulk states. Applications to the integer and fractional Hall effect and some open problems are described.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1996-12-06T11:25:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum hall systems", "edge states", "dimensional schroedinger hamiltonians", "fractional hall effect", "formulate boundary conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1996cond.mat.12063A" } } }
