Abstract

The two-dimensional quantum ferromagnet filled with a liquid of skyrmions is studied theoretically in the context of the quantum Hall effect near electronic filling factor ν= 1. A cross-over between the classical ferromagnetic phase at ν=1 and a classical paramagnetic phase at ν≠ 1 is obtained, which is consistent with recent Knight-shift measurements. A new collective mode associated with the skyrmion liquid that is of the cyclotron type is also identified.
