Abstract
We consider Farey series of rational numbers in terms of {\it fractal sets} labeled by the Hausdorff dimension with values defined in the interval 1 and associated with fractal curves. Our results come from the observation that the fractional quantum Hall effect-FQHE occurs in pairs of {\it dual topological quantum numbers}, the filling factors. These quantum numbers obey some properties of the Farey series and so we obtain that {\it the universality classes of the quantum Hall transitions are classified in terms of }. The connection between Number Theory and Physics appears naturally in this context.
