Quantum Geometry of Topological Phases of Matter

Ying-Kang Chen (11535235) 22 November 2021 (has links)
Quantum Hall states are prototypical topological states of matter whose Hall conductance is topologically quantized to an integer or rational fraction multiple of the fundamental conductance quantum. A significant consequence of this quantization is that the Hall conductance value can be made independent of variations from device to device, within acceptable limits. Such topologically quantized properties are thus highly desirable for metrology or industrial purposes. Formulating a microscopic picture of fractional quantum Hall states and the characterization of all topological responses of quantum Hall states are frontier areas of condensed matter research, with far reaching technological consequences such as realizing anyonic topological quantum computation. In this dissertation, I will present my research on these topics.<br>

Cross-sectional dependence model specifications in a static trade panel data setting

LeSage, James, Fischer, Manfred M. 25 March 2019 (has links) (PDF)
The focus is on cross-sectional dependence in panel trade flow models. We propose alternative specifications for modeling time invariant factors such as socio-cultural indicator variables, e.g., common language and currency. These are typically treated as a source of heterogeneity eliminated using fixed effects transformations, but we find evidence of cross-sectional dependence after eliminating country-specific and time-specific effects. These findings suggest use of alternative simultaneous dependence model specifications that accommodate cross-sectional dependence, which we set forth along with Bayesian estimation methods. Ignoring cross-sectional dependence implies biased estimates from panel trade flow models that rely on fixed effects. / Series: Working Papers in Regional Science
