Abstract

We develop the quantum hydrodynamics of inner waves in the bulk of fractional quantum Hall states. We show that the inelastic light scattering by inner waves is a sole effect of the gravitational anomaly. We obtain the formula for the oscillator strength or mean energy of optical absorption expressed solely in terms of an independently measurable static structure factor. The formula does not explicitly depend on a model interaction potential.
