Nonequilibrium tunneling into general quantum Hall edge states

In this paper we formulate the theory of tunneling into general Abelian fra ctional quantum Hall edge states. In contrast to the simple Laughlin starts , a number of charge transfer processes must be accounted for. Nonetheless, it is possible to identify a unique value corresponding to dissipationless transport as the asymptotic large-V conductance through a tunneling juncti on, and find fixed points (conformal held theory boundary conditions) corre sponding to this value. The symmetries of a given edge tunneling problem de termine the appropriate boundary condition, and the boundary condition dete rmines the strong-coupling operator content and current noise.
