Bosonic Superfluid on the Lowest Landau Level

Phys Rev Lett. 2019 Jun 14;122(23):235301. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.235301.

Abstract

We develop a low-energy effective field theory of a two-dimensional bosonic superfluid on the lowest Landau level at zero temperature and identify a Berry term that governs the dynamics of coarse-grained superfluid degrees of freedom. For an infinite vortex crystal we compute how the Berry term affects the low-energy spectrum of soft collective Tkachenko oscillations and nondissipative Hall responses of the particle number current and stress tensor. This term gives rise to a quadratic in momentum term in the Hall conductivity, but does not generate a nondissipative Hall viscosity.
