摘要
We analyze bilayer quantum Hall ferromagnets, whose underlying symmetry group is SU(4). Spin-pseudospin coherence develops spontaneously when the total electron density is low enough. The quasiparticles are CP3 Skyrmions. One Shyrmion induces charge modulations on both layers. At the filling factor nu = 2/m one elementary excitation consists of a pair of Skyrmions and its charge is 2e/m. Recent experimental data due to Sawada et at. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 4534 (1998)] support this conclusion.
