I consider first the case of a single point contact. This is a an exactly solvable problem from which much can be learned. I also discuss in some detail how these solvable junction problems can be used to understand many aspects of the recent electron tunneling experiments into edge states. I also give a detailed picture of the unusual behavior of these junctions in their strong coupling regime. A pedagogical introduction to the theories of edge states is also included.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-05-14T14:55:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fractional quantum hall effect", "fractional quantum hall fluid", "edge states", "single point contact", "strong coupling regime" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999cond.mat..5218F" } } }
