Reply to "Comment on "Galilean invariance at quantum Hall edge""

Abstract

Motivated by a recent Comment by J. H\"oller and N. Read [Phys. Rev. B 93, 197401 (2016)], we revisit the problem of a chiral Luttinger liquid on a boundary of a Galilean-invariant quantum Hall fluid. After correcting the linear response calculation, the real part of the longitudinal conductivity derived in the model constructed in our paper [Phys. Rev. B 91, 195409 (2015)] agrees with the result found in the Comment for non-interacting fermions confined by a linear potential. We also withdraw our previous conjecture that the longitudinal conductivity contains a universal contribution determined by the "shift" and provide arguments demonstrating its non-universal nature.
