Inter-Landau-level transitions break particle hole symmetry and will choose either the Pfaffian or the anti-Pfaffian state as the absolute ground state at 5/2 filling of the fractional quantum Hall effect. An approach based on truncating…
Incompressible even denominator fractional quantum Hall states at fillings $\nu = \pm \frac{1}{2}$ and $\nu = \pm \frac{1}{4}$ have been recently observed in monolayer graphene. We use a Chern-Simons description of multi-component…
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…
The mean field (MF) composite Fermion (CF) picture successfully predicts low lying states of fractional quantum Hall systems. This success cannot be attributed to a cancellation between Coulomb and Chern-Simons interactions beyond the mean…
Despite the fact that composite fermions may be regarded as electrically neutral objects at Landua-level filling factor $\nu=1/2$, carrying only an electric dipole moment, we argue that the long-wavelength compressibility of the system is…
The observation of extensive fractional quantum Hall states in graphene brings out the possibility of more accurate quantitative comparisons between theory and experiment than previously possible, because of the negligibility of finite…
Low lying states of a 2D electron-hole system contain electrons and one or more types of charged excitonic complexes. Binding energies and angular momenta of these excitonic ions, and the pseudopotentials describing their interactions with…

Numerical results suggest that the quantum Hall effect at {\nu} = 5/2 is described by the Pfaffian or anti-Pfaffian state in the absence of disorder and Landau level mixing. Those states are incompatible with the observed transport…
A recent theory of a compressible Fermi-liquid like state at Landau level filling factors $\nu=1/q$ or $1-1/q$, $q$ even, is reviewed, with emphasis on the basic physical concepts.
Two- and three-body correlations of incompressible quantum liquids are studied numerically. Pairing of composite fermions (CFs) in the 1/3-filled second CF Landau level is found at nu_e=4/11. It is explained by reduced short-range repulsion…
A system of interacting, identical fermions described by standard Landau Fermi-liquid (FL) theory can experience a rearrangement of its Fermi surface if the correlations grow sufficiently strong, as occurs at a quantum critical point where…
The Hall-resistance curve of a two-dimensional electron system in the presence of a strong perpendicular magnetic field is an example of self-similarity. It reveals plateaus at low temperatures and has a fractal structure. We show that this…
The reduction of the energy gap due to Landau level mixing, characterized by the dimensionless parameter $\lambda = (e^2/\epsilon l_0)/\hbar\omega_c$, has been calculated by variational Monte Carlo for the fractional quantum Hall effect at…
An analytic closed form solution is derived for the bound states of electrons subject to a static, inhomogeneous ($1/r$-decaying) magnetic field, including the Zeeman interaction. The solution provides access to many-body properties of a…
We apply the diagram-technique formalism beyond the Hartree-Fock approximation to a two-dimensional nearly ideal electron gas in a weak perpendicular magnetic field. The case of an almost completely filled upper Landau level (filling factor…
We present a set of explicit trial wavefunctions for the filling factors \nu=n/(2n\pm 1) and \nu=1/2 in the symmetric gauge. We show that the zeroes of the wavefunction, except those dictated by the Fermi statistics, are detached from the…
We investigate the feasibility of many candidate quantum Hall states for two-component bosons in the lowest Landau level. We identify interactions for which spin-singlet incompressible states occur at filling factors $\nu=2/3$, 4/5 and 4/3,…

Composite fermion metal states emerge in quantum Hall bilayers at total Landau level filling factor $\nu_T$=1 when the tunneling gap collapses by application of in-plane components of the external magnetic field. Evidence of this…
