In this report we summarize a recent progress in exploration of correlated two-dimensional electron states in partially filled high Landau levels. At a mean-field Hartree-Fock level they can be described as charge-density waves, either…
It is well known that in quantum gravity, the very geometry of space and time is subject to continual fluctuation. The mathematical formulation for this old theory is still lacking. This article formulates this more than forty-year-old…
We develop a microscopic formalism to study the fractional quantum Hall plateaus at filling factors $\nu $ away from $1/2\beta$ $\beta$ an integer. The theory is in terms of quasiparticles which carry a charge $e^{\ast}$ equal to…
We study the quantum self-organization of interacting particles in one-dimensional(1D) many-body systems, modeled via Hubbard chains with short-range interactions between the particles. We show the emergence of 1D states with density-wave…
The fractional quantum Hall effect is a well-known demonstration of strongly correlated topological phases in two dimensions. However, the extension of this phenomenon into a three-dimensional context has yet to be achieved. Recently, the…
We construct a class of 2+1 dimensional relativistic quantum field theories which exhibit the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect in the infrared, both in the continuum and on the lattice. The UV completion consists of a perturbative $U(1)\times…
The face of physics is a function of scale. This widespread phrase is considered as a universal truth because it reflects the experience of generations of physicists. Starting from primary school we know that the physics of macroscopic…

Strongly correlated quantum systems in low dimensions often exhibit novel quantum ordering. This ordering is sometimes hidden and can be revealed only by examining new `dual' types of correlations. Such ordering leads to novel collective…
We compare quantum Hall systems at filling factor 2 to those at filling factors 2/3 and 2/5, corresponding to the exact filling of two lowest electron or composite fermion (CF) Landau levels. The two fractional states are examples of CF…
Quantum phenomena are typically observable at length and time scales smaller than those of our everyday experience, often involving individual particles or excitations. The past few decades have seen a revolution in the ability to structure…
Transitions among quantum Hall plateaux share a suite of remarkable experimental features, such as semi-circle laws and duality relations, whose accuracy and robustness are difficult to explain directly in terms of the detailed dynamics of…

The electromagnetic characteristics of the fractional quantum Hall states are studied by formulating an effective vector-field theory that takes into account projection to the exact Landau levels from the beginning. The effective theory is…
We show that there is an emergent lattice description for the continuous fractional quantum Hall (FQH) systems, with a generalised set of few-body coherent states. In particular, model Hamiltonians of the FQH effect are equivalent to the…
