HALL-EFFECT IN THE 2-DIMENSIONAL LUTTINGER LIQUID

The temperature dependence of the Hall effect in the normal state is a common theme of all the cuprate superconductors and has been one of the more puzzling observations on these puzzling materials. We describe a general scheme within the Luttinger liquid theory of these two-dimensional quantum fluids which correlates the anomalous Hall and resistivity observations on a wide variety of both pure and doped single crystals, especially the data in the accompanying Letter of Chien, Wang, and Ong.
