Quasiparticles with fractional charge and fractional statistics are key features of the fractional quantum Hall effect. We discuss in detail the definitions of fractional charge and statistics and the ways in which these properties may be…
Fractional quantum Hall states at a half-filled Landau level are believed to carry an integer number $\mathcal{C}$ of chiral Majorana edge modes, reflected in their thermal Hall conductivity. We show that this number determines the primary…

The recent proposal of non-Abelian boson-fermion dualities in 2+1 dimensions, which morally relate $U(k)_N$ to $SU(N)_{-k}$ Chern-Simons-matter theories, presents a new platform for exploring the landscape of non-Abelian quantum Hall states…
A recent thermal Hall conductance experiment [Banerjee et al., Nature {\bf559}, 205 (2018)] for $\nu = 5/2$ fractional quantum Hall system appears to rule out both the Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian and be in favor of the PH-Pfaffian…
