The gauge-transformation properties of the actions of certain scalar and Chern–Simons theories are investigated, including contributions from the boundary. By imposing chirality constraints on the fields, these types of theories can be used to describe the quantum Hall effect. It is shown that the corresponding equation of motion for the associated current for the theory generates an anomaly, which can be related directly to the Hall conductivity.

There is a topological connection between the boundary excitations of a quantum Hall fluid and the quantum numbers of its vortex-like bulk quasi-particles. I use this connection to examine the group properties of vortex excitations in a generalized quantum Hall fluid, and show how the vortex trajectories become Wilson lines interacting via Chern-Simons fields. As a result, I argue that non-abelian statistics, if they exist, should be independent of the detailed properties of the many-body wavefunction and will depend only on the bulk Hall conductivity tensor.

One kind of hierarchical wave functions of Fractional Quantum Hall Effect on the torus is constructed. We find that the wave functions are closely related to the wave functions of generalized Abelian Chern-Simons theory.

This paper gives a systematic review of a field theoretical approach to the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) that has been developed in the past few years. We first illustrate some simple physical ideas to motivate such an approach and then present a systematic derivation of the Chern–Simons–Landau–Ginzburg (CSLG) action for the FQHE, starting from the microscopic Hamiltonian. It is demonstrated that all the phenomenological aspects of the FQHE can be derived from the mean field solution and the small fluctuations of the CSLG action. Although this formalism is logically independent of Laughlin's wave function approach, their physical consequences are equivalent. The CSLG theory demonstrates a deep connection between the phenomena of superfluidity and the FQHE, and can provide a simple and direct formalism to address many new macroscopic phenomena of the FQHE.

We prove the non-renormalization theorem resulting in the exact cancellation of Chern-Simons term (and superconductivity) in systems of both free and interacting anyons with the statistical parameter 1/N. The theorem is used to prove the quantization of transverse conductance in the proposed second-quantized fermionic description of fractional quantum Hall effect.
