Q-balls of quasi-particles in a (2, 0)-theory model of the fractional quantum Hall effect

Abstract: A toy model of the fractional quantum Hall effect appears as part of the low-energy description of the Coulomb branch of the

A_{1}

(2,0)-theory formulated on

(S^{1} i m e s R^{2}) / Z_{k}

, where the generator of

Z_{k}

acts as a combination of translation on

S^{1}

and rotation by

2 p i / k

on

R^{2}

. At low energy the configuration is described in terms of a 4+1D Super-Yang-Mills theory on a cone (

R^{2} / Z_{k}

) with additional 2+1D degrees of freedom at the tip of the cone that include fractionally charged particles. These fractionally charged quasi-particles are BPS strings of the (2,0)-theory wrapped on short cycles. We analyze the large

k

limit, where a smooth cigar-geometry provides an alternative description. In this framework a W-boson can be modeled as a bound state of

k

quasi-particles. The W-boson becomes a Q-ball, and it can be described as a soliton solution of Bogomolnyi monopole equations on a certain auxiliary curved space. We show that axisymmetric solutions of these equations correspond to singular maps from

A d S_{3}

to

A d S_{2}

, and we present some numerical results and an asymptotic expansion.
