Quantum Hall stripe (QHS) phases, predicted by the Hartree-Fock theory, are manifested in GaAs-based two-dimensional electron gases as giant resistance anisotropies. Here, we predict a hidden'' QHS phase which exhibits \emph{isotropic} resistivity whose value, determined by the density of states of QHS, is independent of the Landau index $N$ and is inversely proportional to the Drude conductivity at zero magnetic field. At high enough $N$, this phase yields to an Ando-Unemura-Coleridge…

It is established that the stripe phases are more robust than theoretically predicted, calling for improved theoretical treatment, and it is shown that the hQHS phases do not occur in ultrahigh mobility GaAs quantum wells but are likely to be found in other systems.

It is shown that when the filling factor of the upper Landau level is close to one-half, the domains have the form of parallel stripes alternating with a spatial period close to three cyclotron radii, and the density of states has a pseudogap linearly dependent on the magnetic field in the limit of large N.
