We investigate the issue of whether quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall effect possess a fractional intrinsic spin. The presence of such a spin $S$ is suggested by the spin-statistics relation $S=\theta/2\pi$, with $\theta$ being…
Chern insulators are band insulators exhibiting a nonzero Hall conductance but preserving the lattice translational symmetry. We conclusively show that a partially filled Chern insulator at 1/3 filling exhibits a fractional quantum Hall…
In this paper we elaborate on the correspondence between the quantum Hall system with filling factor equal to one and the N=4 SYM theory in the 1/2 BPS sector, previously mentioned in the [hep-th/0409174, hep-th/0409115]. We show the…

We formulate $U(1)$ $bda$ Chern-Simons theory, which is also called BF theory, on a lattice, adapting a method proposed by Kantor and Susskind for the groups $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{Z}_N$. Our method applies to any finite or infinite…
We consider the quantum Hall effect induced by magnetic field and rotation, which can drive the Hall samples into the quantum Hall regime and induce fractional excitations. Both the mass and the charge of the Laughlin quasiparticles are…

We analyze a recently proposed method to create fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states of atoms confined in optical lattices [A. S{\o}rensen {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 94} 086803 (2005)]. Extending the previous work, we investigate…
The path integral approach to representing braid group is generalized for particles with spin. Introducing the notion of {\em charged} winding number in the super-plane, we represent the braid group generators as homotopically constrained…
We show the explicit connection between two distinct and complementary approaches to the fractional quantum Hall system (FQHS): the quantum wires formalism and the topological low-energy effective description given in terms of an Abelian…
We study the vortex solutions in a multicomponent Zhang-Hansson-Kivelson model for the fractional quantum Hall effect, at the self-dual point. Vortices with minimal free energy represent Laughlin quasiholes. We find at least two classes of…
We propose a fermion Chern-Simons field theory describing two- dimensional electrons in the lowest Landau level. This theory is constructed with a complete set of states, and the lowest Landau level constraint is enforced through a…
We study the electromagnetic response of a chiral ${\rm d_{xy}+id_{x^2-y^2}}$ charge density wave state. Due to parity (${\cal P}$) and time reversal (${\cal T}$) violation, Chern-Simons terms emerge in the effective action of the U(1)…
The Chern-Simons Ginzburg-Landau theory for the fractional Quantum Hall effect is studied in the presence of a confining potential. We review the bulk properties of the model and discuss how the plateau formation emerges without any…
Atomic vapors can be prepared and manipulated at very low densities and temperatures. When they are rotating, they can reach a quantum Hall regime in which there should be manifestations of the fractional quantum Hall effect. We discuss the…
The quantum Hall effect was originally observed in a two-dimensional electron gas forming Landau levels when exposed to a strong perpendicular magnetic field and was later generalized to Chern insulators without net magnetization. Here,…
