## Abstract

Low-energy transport in quantum Hall states is carried through edge modes, and is dictated by bulk topological invariants and possibly microscopic Boltzmann kinetics at the edge. Here we show how the presence or breaking of symmetries of the edge Hamiltonian underlie transport properties, specifically d.c. conductance and noise. We demonstrate this through the analysis of hole-conjugate states of the quantum Hall effect, specifically the $\\nu=2/3$ case in a quantum point-contact (QPC) geometry. We identify two symmetries, a continuous $SU(3)$ and a discrete $Z\_3$, whose presence or absence (different symmetry scenarios) dictate qualitatively different types of behavior of conductance and shot noise. While recent measurements are consistent with one of these symmetry scenarios, others can be realized in future experiments.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
