Anomalous Bulk Current in Quantum Hall Systems with an Expanding Edge

Oral-In-person

Abstract

Understanding topological phases of matter is essential for advancing both the fundamental theory and practical applications of condensed matter physics. Recently, a theoretical framework for a quantum Hall system with an expanding edge state was proposed [Phys. Rev. D 105, 105009 (2022)], revealing the existence of an energy flux analogous to Hawking radiation on the edge. Motivated by this work, we extend the analysis to a model of a (2+1)-dimensional spacetime that includes both the bulk and edge regions. In this talk, we demonstrate that the covariant form of the gravitational anomaly appears on the edge via the anomaly-inflow mechanism. Furthermore, due to the conservation of energy and momentum in the entire system, we show that the presence of anomalous currents on the expanding edge induces non-trivial currents in the bulk originating from the expansion of the edge.
