Abstract: We study the charge transport of the noninteracting electron gas in a two-dimensional quantum Hall system with Anderson-type impurities at zero temperature. We prove that there exist localized states of the bulk order in the disordered-broadened Landau bands whose energies are smaller than a certain value determined by the strength of the uniform magnetic field. We also prove that, when the Fermi level lies in the localization regime, the Hall conductance is quantized to the desired integer and shows the plateau of the bulk order for varying the filling factor of the electrons rather than the Fermi level.


The paper studies the charge transport of the non-interacting electron gas in a two-dimensional quantum Hall system with Anderson-type impurities at the zero temperature. It is proven that when the Fermi level is defined in a localization regime, the Hall conductance is quantized to the prior selected integer and exhibits the plateau of the bulk order for varying the filling factor of the electrons. The framework and the main results are displayed in the second section (which can be read alone), and the remaining ten sections yield their detailed lengthy proofs. The mathematics of the content is postponed in the appendix which is nearly half of the paper. The latter refers to various concepts such as site percolation on the triangular lattice of the impurities, multi-scale analysis, fractional moment bound, and non-commutative geometry.
