Abstract
Effects of backward scattering between fractional quantum Hall (FQH) edge m odes are studied. Based on the edge-state picture for hierarchical FQH liqu ids, we discuss the possibility of the transitions between different platea ux of the tunneling conductance G. We find a selection rule for the sequenc e which begins with a conductance G = m/(mp +/- 1) (m: integer, p: even int eger) in units of e(2)/h. The shot-noise spectrum as well as the scaling be havior of the tunneling current is calculated explicitly.
