Abstract

We use a Chern Simons Landau-Ginzburg (CSLG) framework related to hierarchies of composite bosons to describe 2D harmonically trapped fast rotating Bose gases in Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (FQHE) states. The predicted values for ν\nu (ratio of particle to vortex numbers) are ν\nu==pq{{p}\over{q}} (pp, qq are any integers) with even product pqpq, including numerically favored values previously found and predicting a richer set of values. We show that those values can be understood from a bosonic analog of the law of the corresponding states relevant to the electronic FQHE. A tentative global phase diagram for the bosonic system for ν\nu<<1 is also proposed.
