Evidence of electron fractionalization in the Hall coefficient at Mott   criticality
  Hall coefficient implies the mechanism for reconstruction of a Fermi surface, distinguishing competing scenarios for Mott criticality such as electron fractionalization, dynamical mean-field theory, and metal-insulator transition driven by symmetry breaking. We find that electron fractionalization leaves a signature for the Hall coefficient at Mott criticality in two dimensions, a unique feature differentiated from other theories. We evaluate the Hall coefficient based on the quantum Boltzman equation approach, guaranteeing gauge invariance in both longitudinal and transverse transport coefficients.
