Interpretation of thermal conductance of the ν = 5/2 edge

Recent experiments [Banerjee et al, arXiv:1710.00492] have measured thermal conductance of the ν = 5/2 edge in a GaAs electron gas and found it to be quantized as K ≈ 5/2 (in appropriate dimensionless units). This result is unexpected, as prior numerical work predicts that the ν = 5/2 state should b...
