The evidence for the parallel rôles played by the modular group in [Formula: see text] supersymmetric Yang–Mills in (3+1) dimensions and the quantum Hall effect in (2+1) dimensions is reviewed. In both cases a subgroup of the full modular group acts as a map between different low energy phases of the theory, parametrised by a complex parameter in the upper-half-complex plane whose real part is a topological parameter and whose imaginary part is the coupling associated the kinetic term of the effective U(1) gauge theory. In the case of the quantum Hall effect experimental evidence in favour of the modular action is also reviewed.

In this paper we show that classical fluid dynamics in a plane is a gauge theory useful for studying aspects of the quantum Hall system. When the fluid is charged and placed in a magnetic field, Chern-Simons fields appear naturally and the fractional statistics of vortex excitations can be understood qualitatively. Applying the fluid picture to a gas of anyons shows that it superconducts.

We consider a semiclassical formulation of the quantum Hall effect by means of an Chern–Simons gauge theory constructed for a Schrödinger field. We build up constraints managing the Faddeev–Jackiw algorithm and show a direct relation of the constraints with Hall conductivity. In the second step, we consider the noncommutative extension to the action computing the new and more general constraints and, as a right consequence, an interesting correction for the conductivity expression is found. Finally, we speculate possible interpretations of this new result and its consequences.
