Deconfined metal-insulator transitions in quantum Hall bilayers
We propose that quantum Hall bilayers in the presence of a periodic potential at the scale of the magnetic length can host examples of a deconfined metal-insulator transition (DMIT), where a Fermi-liquid (FL) metal with a generic electronic Fermi surface evolves into a gapped insulator (or an insula...
