Partial equilibration of anti-Pfaffian edge modes at $\nu =5\mathrm{/}2$

The thermal Hall conductance $K$ of the fractional quantum Hall state at filling fraction $\nu =5\mathrm{/}2$ has recently been measured to be $K=2.5 \pi^2k_B^2T/3h$[M\mathrm{.}Banerjeeetal\mathrm{.},Nature${\bf 559}$, 205 (2018)]. The half-integer value of this result (in units of ${\pi }^2{k}_B^{2}T\mathrm{/}3h$) provides strong evidence for the presence of a Majorana edge mode and a corresponding quantum Hall state hosting quasiparticles with non-Abelian statistics. Whether this measurement points to the realization of the PH-Pfaffian or the anti-Pfaffian state has been the subject of debate. Here we consider the implications of this measurement for anti-Pfaffian edge-state transport. We show that in the limit of a strong Coulomb interaction and an approximate spin degeneracy in the lowest Landau level, the anti-Pfaffian state admits low-temperature edge phases that are consistent with the Hall conductance measurements. These edge phases can exhibit fully-equilibrated electrical transport coexisting with partially-equilibrated heat transport over a range of temperatures. Through a study of the kinetic equations describing low-temperature electrical and heat transport of these edge states, we determine regimes of parameter space, controlling the interactions between the different edge modes, that agree with experiment.
