Abstract

We investigate edge reconstruction scenarios in the $ν= 1$ quantum Hall state, focusing on configurations with upstream and downstream charge and neutral modes. Our analysis shows that the coexistence of upstream charge and neutral modes in a multi-terminal geometry can cause pronounced deviations from the expected quantized values of electrical ($e^2/h$) and thermal ($π^2 k_\text{B}^{2}T/3h$) Hall conductance dictated by bulk-boundary correspondence. In particular, we find that both electrical and thermal Hall conductances can be significantly enhanced -- exceeding twice their unreconstructed values -- offering a clear diagnostic of edge reconstruction.
