Localization in the theory of the quantized hall effect: a two-dimensional realization of the theta-vacuum

Abstract

It is shown that the localization problem in the theory of the quantized Hall effect is governed by the zero-component grassmannian U(2m) non-linear sigma-model with a THETA-term, a two-dimensional analogue of the THETA-vacuum in Yang-Mills theory. In this case, THETA is to be interpreted as the bare value for the Hall conductivity, determined by an underlying non-critical theory. A detailed derivation is presented starting from the replica method and a delta function distribution for the impurities.
