We consider interacting, charged spins on a torus described by a gapped Hamiltonian with a unique groundstate and conserved local charge. Using quasi-adiabatic evolution of the groundstate around a flux-torus, we prove, without any averaging assumption, that the Hall conductance of the groundstate is quantized in integer multiples of e (2)/h, up to exponentially small corrections in the linear size L. In addition, we discuss extensions to the fractional quantization case under an additional topological order assumption on the degenerate groundstate subspace.
