• Description:

  By putting the quantum Hall system in a curved space, we reveal a rich
  set of symmetries. We use these symmetries to restrict the effective
  field theory describing the quantum Hall state. The physical
  consequences of the effective field theory are described: the shift,
  the Hall viscosity, and the wavenumber correction to the Hall
  conductivity. The talk is based on arXiv:1109.2651.
