Abstract

Using the Lieb–Mattis ordering theorem of electronic energy levels, we identify and construct the Hilbert space of the low energy sector of U(N ) quantum Hall/Heisenberg ferromagnets at filling factor M for L Landau/lattice sites. The carrier Hilbert space of irreducible representations of U(N ) is described by rectangular Young tableaux of M rows and L columns, and associated with Grassmannian phase spaces U(N )/U(M )×U(N − M ). Replacing U(N )-spin operators by their expectation values in a Grassmannian coherent state allows for a semi-classical treatment of the low energy U(N )-spin-wave coherent excitations (skyrmions) of U(N ) quantum Hall ferromagnets in terms of Grasmannian nonlinear sigma models.
