abstract
We elucidate the nature of neutral collective excitations of fractional quantum Hall liquids in the long-wavelength limit. We demonstrate that they are chiral gravitons carrying angular momentum - 2, which are quanta of quantum motion of an internal metric, and show up as resonance peaks in the systems response to what is the fractional Hall analog of gravitational waves. Relation with existing and possible future experimental work that can detect these fractional quantum Hall gravitons and reveal their chirality are discussed.

Chiral Graviton Theory of Fractional Quantum Hall States
By gauging area-preserving diffeomorphisms and adding a Stueckelberg mass term, the paper constructs a nonlinear effective theory whose quadratic limit reproduces the bimetric description of the chiral spin-2 magnetoroton.
