Edge states of the quantum Hall fluid provide an almost unparalled opportunity to study mesoscopic effects in a highly correlated electron system. In this paper we develop a bosonization formalism for the finite-size edge state, as described by chiral Luttinger liquid theory, and use it to study the Aharonov-Bohm effect. The problem we address may be realized experimentally by measuring the tunneling current between two edge states through a third edge state formed around an antidot in the fractional quantum Hall effect regime. A renormalization group analysis reveals the existence of a two-parameter universal scaling function G(X,Y) that describes the Aharonov-Bohm resonances. We also show that the strong renormalization of the tunneling amplitudes that couple the antidot to the incident edge states, together with the nature of the Aharonov-Bohm interference process in a chiral system, prevent the occurrence of perfect resonances as the magnetic field is varied, even at zero temperature.
