The Stochastic Limit of the Fröhlich Hamiltonian: Relations with the Quantum Hall Effect

2003

We propose a model of an approximatively two-dimensional electron gas in a uniform electric and magnetic field and interacting with a positive background through the Fröhlich Hamiltonian. We consider the stochastic limit of this model and we find the quantum Langevin equation and the generator of the master equation. This allows us to calculate the explicit form of the conductivity and the resistivity tensors and to deduce a fine tuning condition (FTC) between the electric and the magnetic fields. This condition shows that the x-component of the current is zero unless a certain quotient, involving the physical parameters, takes values in a finite set of physically meaningful rational number…
