Theory of Nematic Fractional Quantum Hall States
We derive an effective field theory for the isotropic-nematic quantum phase transition of fractional quantum Hall states. We demonstrate that for a system with an isotropic background the low-energy effective theory of the nematic order parameter has z=2 dynamical scaling exponent, due to a Berry ph...
