Coupled Wire Model of $Z_2 \times Z_2$ Orbifold Quantum Hall States
Abstract
We construct a coupled wire model for a sequence of non-Abelian quantum Hall states occurring at filling factors with integers and even(odd) integers for fermionic(bosonic) states. They are termed orbifold states, which have a topological order with a neutral sector described by the orbifold conformal field theory (CFT) at radius with even integers . When , the state can be viewed as two decoupled layers of Moore-Read (MR) state, whose neutral sector is described by the Ising Ising CFT and contains a fusion subalgebra. We demonstrate that orbifold states with , also containing a fusion algebra, can be obtained by coupling together an array of MR MR wires through local interactions. The corresponding charge spectrum of quasiparticles is also examined. The orbifold states constructed here are complementary to the orbifold states, whose neutral edge theory is described by orbifold CFT with odd integer and contains a fusion algebra.
