Lectures on the Quantum Hall Effect
read the original abstract
The purpose of these lectures is to describe the basic theoretical structures underlying the rich and beautiful physics of the quantum Hall effect. The focus is on the interplay between microscopic wavefunctions, long-distance effective Chern-Simons theories, and the modes which live on the boundary. The notes are aimed at graduate students in any discipline where $\hbar=1$. A working knowledge of quantum field theory is assumed. Contents: 1. The Basics (Landau levels and Berry phase). 2. The Integer Quantum Hall Effect. 3. The Fractional Quantum Hall Effect. 4. Non-Abelian Quantum Hall States. 5. Chern-Simons Theories. 6. Edge Modes.

Edge modes in Chern-Simons theory on a strip
Chern-Simons theory on a strip yields boundary current algebras for oppositely propagating chiral bosons whose velocities follow from a bulk-boundary consistency condition and are independent of strip width.

Partial Quantisation of Non-Hermitian Berry Phases in Time-Varying Media
Non-Hermitian Berry phases in time-varying media have a quantized real part due to symmetry, giving a topological index for systems including a non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model.
