Topological phases in the quantum Hall bilayer

Milica Milovanovic

Institute of Physics, Belgrade

The talk is based on M.V. Milovanovic and Z. Papic, PRB 79, 115319 (2009) and can be viewed as a blackboard seminar at KITP, Santa Barbara, program "Low Dimensional Electron Systems".

It discusses the interplay between superfluid and topological orders in the quantum Hall bilayer, and a possibility for the BF (doubled) Chern-Simons theory (T.H. Hansson et al, Ann. Phys. 313, 497 (2004) and M. Freedman et al, Ann. Phys. 310,428 (2004)) as an outcome of the superfluid disordering.
