Abstract

The chiral Luttinger model for the edges of the fractional quantum Hall effect is obtained as the low energy limit of the Chern-Simons theory for the two dimensional system. In particular we recover the Kac-Moody algebra for the creation and annihilation operators of the edge density waves and the bosonization formula for the electronic operator at the edge.
