Weak-Strong Duality of the Non-Commutative Landau Problem Induced by a Two-Vortex Permutation, and Conformal Bridge Transformation

A correspondence is established between the dynamics of the two-vortex system and the non-commutative Landau problem (NCLP) in its sub- (non-chiral), super- (chiral) and critical phases. As a result, a trivial permutation symmetry of the point vortices induces a weak-strong coupling duality in the NCLP. We show that quantum two-vortex systems with non-zero total vorticity can be generated by applying conformal bridge transformation to a two-dimensional quantum free particle or to a quantum vortex-antivortex system of zero total vorticity. The sub- and super-critical phases of the quantum NCLP are generated in a similar way from the 2D quantum free particle in a commutative or non-commutative plane. The composition of the inverse and direct transformations of the conformal bridge also makes it possible to link the non-chiral and chiral phases in each of these two systems. © 2023, The Author(s).
