In superconductivity the photons are assumed yo be massive as a manifestation of Higgs mechanics. Can we analogously say that photons are also massive in quantum Hall effect. Both phenomena are examples macroscopic quantum effects. The transverse Hall voltage is an accumulation of charges without current. Can we attribute that to the consequences of massive photons? Recall that in black hole radiation, Stephen Hawking says that the gravitational field around the black hole is responsible for such radiation. Can we say that the magnetic field is responsible for massive photons too?
Our physical universe unfolded with the symmetry breaking of the Super Unified Gaussian Group SU(11) that means from the 10-dimensional space time.
We get two types of energy sources SU(6), a latent energy group and SU(5), an Unified Gaussian Group i.e standard model of physics.
So, there must be an electromagnetic force created by the energy framework of SU(6).

Large scale properties of a quantum hall system can be effectively described by effective field theories which use the Maxwell-Chern-Simmons interaction term. This is a (2+1) dimensional model;
-(1/4e2) Fμν Fμν + (κ/2) εμνρ Aμ∂νAρ
Eular-Lagrangian equation of motion is,
∂μ Fμν +(κe2/2) ενζη Fζη =0
This describes a massive dual field (written in italics), Fμ= (1/2) εμνρ Fνρ having mass κe2
No-quantum effects don't, necessarily, imply that the photon acquires a mass. Nor is it correct that the Chern-Simons interaction leads, necessarily, to a mass for the photon: if there is an even number of fermionic flavors, with opposite chirality, the photon does not become massive.
The quantum Hall effect isn't described, just, by 2+1 dimensional QED.
And these effects don't have anything to do with Hawking radiation (which isn't due to the gravitational field ``around'' a black hole, but is a property of the black hole spacetime-that doesn't have anything to do with the star, that collapsed to a black hole).
