SUMMARY:The emergent "graviton" of the fractional quantum Hall effect\
 , Physics Department Colloquium\, Dam T. Son\, University of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:In fractional quantum Hall states\, electrons self-organiz
 e into a strongly interacting fluid with nontrivial emergent propertie
 s. It has recently been understood that fractional quantum Hall fluids
  accommodate one or several spin-2 excitations\, which have been argue
 d to be condensed-matter analogues of the graviton. In this talk we wi
 ll review the origin of the idea of the graviton and the basic physics
  of the fractional quantum Hall effect. We then discuss a recent exper
 iment claiming observation of "chiral graviton modes" and its broader 
 implications.
