Abstract

We discuss some new quantum numbers (spin vector) for the Hall fluid, representing orbital spin degrees of freedom. We show that the spin vectors are quantized. In the absence of impurites, two Hall fluids with different spin vectors cannot change into each other without a phase transition and closing of the energy gap. In principle the spin vector can be measured through its coupling to the curvature of space. Our formalism may be described picturesquely as a unification of electromagnetism and ``gravity'' in condensed-matter physics.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
