Abstract
We discuss the effect of edge states on the de Haas-van Alphen oscillations in a small singly connected sample made of a 2D electron gas in the quantum-Hall-effect regime. We find that because of the "ring topology" of these states the magnetization oscillates with a period in the total flux through the system. This oscillation survives a substantial amount of disorder. Its detectability is discussed and a related oscillation in the longitudinal and transverse resistances suggested.
