Three-dimensional Massive Gravity and the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect

Explore the connections between massive spin-2 modes in the Fractional Quantum Hall effect and the Fierz-Pauli description in quantum field theory in this 1-hour 13-minute lecture by Eric Bergshoeff from Groningen University. Examine the generalization to massive higher-spin modes in both contexts and delve into how recent advancements in three-dimensional massive gravity might influence the understanding of massive modes in the Fractional Quantum Hall effect. Gain insights into the intersection of condensed matter physics and quantum field theory through this advanced talk presented at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.
