Motivated by recent work on Hall viscosity, we derive from first principles the Kubo formulas for the stress-stress response function at zero wave vector that can be used to define the full complex frequency-dependent viscosity tensor, both with and without a uniform magnetic field. The formulas in the existing literature are frequently incomplete, incorrect, or lack a derivation; in particular, Hall viscosity is overlooked. Our approach begins from the response to a uniform external strain field, which is an active time-dependent coordinate transformation in $d$ space dimensions. These transformations form the group GL$(d,\mathbb{R})$ of invertible matrices, and the infinitesimal generators are called strain generators. These enable us to express the Kubo formula in different ways, related by Ward identities; some of these make contact with the adiabatic transport approach. The importance of retaining contact terms, analogous to the diamagnetic term in the familiar Kubo formula for conductivity, is emphasized. For Galilean-invariant systems, we derive a relation between the stress response tensor and the conductivity tensor that is valid at all frequencies and in both the presence and absence of a magnetic field. In the presence of a magnetic field and at low frequency, this yields a relation between the Hall viscosity, the ${q}^{2}$ part of the Hall conductivity, the inverse compressibility (suitably defined), and the diverging part of the shear viscosity (if any); this relation generalizes a result found recently by others. We show that the correct value of the Hall viscosity at zero frequency can be obtained (at least in the absence of low-frequency bulk and shear viscosity) by assuming that there is an orbital spin per particle that couples to a perturbing electromagnetic field as a magnetization per particle. We study several examples as checks on our formulation. We also present formulas for the stress response that directly generalize the Berry (adiabatic) curvature expressions for zero-frequency Hall conductivity or viscosity to the full tensors at all frequencies.read more

Is the Composite Fermion a Dirac Particle
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that composite fermions possess different quantum numbers than the electrons or holes they were derived from, and that the number of the fermion's quasiparticle is different from that of the electron or the hole.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of strains in the structural and electronic properties of graphene and other two-dimensional compounds is discussed. But, the influence of strains on these properties was not considered before, such as electronic transport, spin-orbit coupling, the formation of Moire patterns and optics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of strains in the structural and electronic properties of graphene and other two-dimensional compounds is discussed. But the role is not restricted to graphene, and they are being intensively studied in other two dimensional materials, such as the metallic dichalcogenides.

Spacetime symmetries of the quantum Hall effect
TL;DR: In this article, a source for the energy current of a Galilean system is introduced and the nonrelativistic diffeomorphism invariance studied in previous work is enhanced to a full spacetime symmetry, allowing them to derive a number of Ward identities.

Elastic Gauge Fields in Weyl Semimetals.
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that elastic deformations couple to the electronic degrees of freedom as pseudogauge fields in Weyl semimetals and provided an example of axial gauge fields in three dimensions.
