We review some recent results on the physics of two-dimensional, incompressible electron and spin liquids. These results follow from Ward identities reflecting the U(1) em × SU(2) spin -gauge invariance of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. They describe a variety of generalized quantized Hall effects.

The symmetry properties of the Dirac equation, which describes electrons in relativistic quantum mechanics, is rather different from that of the corresponding Schr6dinger equation. Consequently, even when the velocity of light, c, is much larger than the velocity of an electron Vk, with wave vector, k, relativistic effects may be important. For instance, while the exchange interaction is isotropic in non-relativistic quantum mechanics the coupling between spin and orbital degrees of freedom in relativistic quantum mechanics implies that the band structure of a spin polarized metal depends on the orientation of its magnetization with respect to the crystal axis. As a consequence there is a finite set of degenerate directions for which the total energy of the electrons is an absolute minimum. Evidently, the above effect is the principle mechanism of the magneto crystalline anisotropy [1]. The following session will focus on this and other qualitatively new relativistic effects, such as dichroism at x-ray frequencies [2] or Fano effects in photo-emission from non-polarized solids [3].

Conserved Currents

The conserved probability densities (attributed to the conserved currents derived from relativistic wave equations) should be nonnegative and the integral of them over an entire hypersurface should be equal to one. To satisfy these requirements in a covariant manner, the foliation of space–time must be such that each integral curve of the current crosses each hypersurface of the foliation once and only once. In some cases, it is necessary to use hypersurfaces that are not spacelike everywhere. The generalization to the many-particle case is also possible.
