Composite fermions have played a seminal role in understanding the quantum Hall effect, particularly the formation of a compressible `composite Fermi liquid' (CFL) at filling factor nu = 1/2. Here we suggest that in multi-layer systems…
Faraday waves, typically observed in driven fluids, result from the confluence of nonlinearity and parametric amplification. Here we show that optical pulses can generate analogous phenomena that persist much longer than the pump…

We revisit the composite fermion (CF) construction of the lowest angular momentum yrast states of rotating Bose gases with weak short range interaction. For angular momenta at and below the single vortex, $L \leq N$, the overlaps between…
We introduce Gutzwiller wave functions for multi-band models with general on-site Coulomb interactions. As these wave functions employ correlators for the exact atomic eigenstates they are exact both in the non-interacting and in the atomic…
We introduce a systematic method to derive the effective action for domain walls directly from the scalar field theory that gives rise to their solitonic solutions. The effective action for the Goldstone mode, which characterizes the…
Recent experiments on strongly correlated bilayer quantum Hall systems strongly suggest that, contrary to the usual assumption, the electron spin degree of freedom is not completely frozen either in the quantum Hall or in the compressibles…
We calculate the dispersion of the out-of-phase mode characteristic for the bilayer nu = 1 quantum Hall system applying the version of Chern-Simons theory of Murthy and Shankar that cures the unwanted bare electron mass dependence in the…
Motivated by the discovery of extremely low energy collective modes in the fractional quantum Hall effect (Kang, Pinczuk {\em et al.}), with energies below the Zeeman energy, we study theoretically the spin reversed excitations for…

We find unexpected low energy excitations of fully spin-polarized composite-fermion ferromagnets in the fractional quantum Hall liquid, resulting from a complex interplay between a topological order manifesting through new energy levels and…
An incommensurate charge density wave is a periodic modulation of charge that breaks translational symmetry at a momentum that does not coincide with the primitive lattice vectors. Its Goldstone excitation, the phason, comprises collective…
We study a two-component mixture of fermionic dipoles in two dimensions at zero temperature, interacting via a purely repulsive $1/r^3$ potential. This model can be realized with ultracold atoms or molecules, when their dipole moments are…
We show that minimal-surface non-Euclidean elastic plates share the same low-energy effective theory as Haldane's dimerized quantum spin chain. As a result, such elastic plates support fractional excitations, which take the form of…
We consider the low energy collective mode spectrum of a superfluid Fermi gas in a spherical trap in the collisionless regime. Using a self-consistent random-phase approximation, the effects of superfluidity on modes of dipole and…
We report a theoretical analysis of the half-polarized quantum Hall states observed in a recent experiment. Our numerical results indicate that the ground state energy of the quantum Hall $\nu= 2/3$ and $\nu= 2/5$ states versus spin…
We investigate the relationship of the spontaneously inter-layer coherent ``111''state of quantum Hall bilayers at total filling factor \nu=1 to ``mutual'' composite fermions, in which vortices in one layer are bound to electrons in the…
We use the dynamical structure factors of the quantum Hall states at $\nu=1/3$ and $\nu=1/2$ in the lowest Landau level to study their excitation spectrum. Using the density matrix renormalization group in combination with the…
Variational wave function is proposed to describe electronic properties of an array of one-dimensional conductors coupled by transverse hopping and interaction. For weak or intermediate in-chain interaction the wave function has the…
