Isotropic to anisotropic transition in a fractional quantum Hall state

We study an Abelian gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions which has surprising theoretical and phenomenological features. The theory has a vanishing coefficient for the square of the electric field ei2, characteristic of a quantum critical point with dynamical critical exponent z=2, and a level-k Chern-Sim...
