Coulomb drag in double layer electron systems at even denominator filling factors

An interacting double layer system, with uniform positive background, is studied at finite temperature in the presense of a strong magnetic field corresponding to half filling in each layer. By mapping this system to composite fermions in zero field, we investigate the momentum transfer rate between the layers. As a result of the residual gauge interactions, it turns out that the low temperature dependence of this rate is $T^{4/3}$ which is enhanced as compared to the normal $T^2$ behavior.
