Abstract

The lowest-Landau-level anyon model becomes nonperiodic in the statistics parameter when the finite size of the attached flux tubes is taken into account. The finite-size effects cause the inverse proportional relation between the critical filling factor and the statistics parameter to be nonperiodically continued in the screening regime, where the fluxes are anti-parallel to the external magnetic field -- at critical filling, the external magnetic field is entirely screened by the mean magnetic field associated with the flux tubes. A clustering argument is proposed to select particular values of the statistics parameter. In this way, IQHE and FQHE fillings are obtained in terms of gapped nondegenerate LLL-anyonic wave functions. Jain's series are reproduced without the need to populate higher Landau levels. New FQHE series are proposed, like, in particular, the particle-hole complementary series of the Laughlin one. For fast-rotating Bose-Einstein condensates, a corresponding clustering argument yields particular fractional filling series.
