Abstract

We define and study the Pfaffian state on Riemann surfaces with arbitrary metrics and an inhomogeneous magnetic field and derive its universal transport coefficients. Following a path integral approach, we compute the generating functional which encodes the linear response of the system to a variation of the background metric and the magnetic field and use it to compute the leading and subleading corrections to the charge density in a large-N expansion. We also present a derivation of gravitational anomaly contribution at O(k6) to the static structure factor for the Pfaffian state in the long wavelength limit.
