Abstract
A model consisting of a single massless scalar field with a topological coupling to a pure gauge field is defined and studied. It possesses an SL(2, Z) symmetry as a consequence of the gauge invariance. In an attempt to describe transitions between quantum Hall plateaus, we add a certain realization of impurities to the model, with no disorder. We argue that this leads to a correlation length exponent of 20/9.
