    Abstract

    An analytic form for the crossover of the conductivity tensor between two Hall plateaux, as a function of the external magnetic field, is proposed. The form of the crossover is obtained from the action of a symmetry group, a particular subgroup of the modular group, on the upper-half complex conductivity plane, by assuming that the β-function describing the crossover is a holomorphic function of the conductivity. The group action also leads to a selection rule, |p1q2−p2q1| = 1, for allowed transitions between Hall plateaux with filling factors ѵ1 = p1/q1 and ѵ2 = p2/q2, where q1 and q2 are odd.
