We analyse the magnetic field and gate voltage dependence of the longitudinal resistance in an integer quantum Hall Fabry-Perot interferometer, taking into account the interactions between an outermost interfering edge mode, an inner non-interfering edge mode and the bulk. For weak bulk-edge coupling and sufficiently strong inter-edge interaction, we obtain that the interferometer operates in the Aharonov-Bohm regime with a flux periodicity halved with respect to the usual expectation. Even in the regime of strong bulk-edge coupling, this behaviour can be observed as a sub-periodicity of the interference signal in the Coulomb-dominated regime. We do not find evidence for a connection between a reduced flux period and electron pairing, though. Our results can describe some recent experimental findings. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2019
