Motivated by the quasiparticle wavefunction in the composite fermion (CF) theory for fractional quantum Hall filling factor $\nu = 1/m$, I consider a suitable quasiparticle operator in differential form, as a modified form of Laughlin's…
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…
The essence of the $\nu=5/2$ fractional quantum Hall effect is believed to be well captured by the Moore-Read Pfaffian (or anti-Pfaffian) description. However, an important mystery regarding the formation of the Pfaffian state is the role…
It is shown, with the help of exact diagonalization studies on systems with up to sixteen electrons, in the presence of up to two delta function impurities, that the Pfaffian model is inadequate for the actual quasiholes and quasiparticles…
