Density-balanced, widely separated quantum Hall bilayers at $\nu_T = 1$ can be described as two copies of composite Fermi liquids (CFLs). The two CFLs have interlayer weak-coupling BCS instabilities mediated by gauge fluctuations, the…
Das, Das, and Mandal (PRL 131, 056202, 2023) examine a wavefunction for nu = 5/2 on a sphere including moderate Landau-Level mixing evaluated perturbatively. The wavefunction they find is not a fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state as…

We generalize the fractional quantum Hall hierarchy picture to apply to arbitrary, possibly non-Abelian, fractional quantum Hall states. Applying this to the nu = 5/2 Moore-Read state, we construct new explicit trial wavefunctions to…
We consider fractional quantum Hall states built on Laughlin's original N-body wave-functions, i.e., they are of the form holomorphic times gaussian and vanish when two particles come close, with a given polynomial rate. Such states appear…
I study the possible phase transitions when two layers at filling factor $\nu_t=1$ are gradually separated. In the bosonic case the system should undergo a pairing transition from a Fermi liquid to an incompressible state. In the Fermionic…
We study the two-dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field at filling fraction $\nu=\frac{1}{2}$. At this filling the system is in a gapless state which can be interpreted as a Fermi liquid of composite fermions. We construct trial wave…
