A textbook chain of reasoning, originating with Girvin, MacDonald, and Platzman, predicts that Landau-level mixing (LLM) at nu=1/3 should soften the long-wavelength structure factor S(L): virtual excitations suppress V_1, the magnetoroton…
Supersymmetry and supergravity were invented in the 1970s to solve fundamental problems in high-energy physics. Even though neither of these ideas has yet been confirmed in high-energy and cosmology experiments, they have been beneficial in…
We study lattice wave functions obtained from the SU(2)$_1$ Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theory. Following Moore and Read's construction, the Kalmeyer-Laughlin fractional quantum Hall state is defined as a correlation function of…
We construct an effective Hamiltonian for electrons in the fractional quantum Hall regime for GaAs and graphene that takes into account Landau level mixing (for both GaAs and graphene) and subband mixing (for GaAs, due to the nonzero width…
Quasiparticles, which obey non abelian statistics, were predicted to exist in different physical systems, but are yet to be observed directly. Possible candidate states, which are expected to support such quasiparticles, are the {\nu}=8/3,…
We study two alternative definitions of localized states in the lowest Landau level (LLL) on a torus. One definition is to construct localized states, as projection of the coordinate delta function onto the LLL. Another definition, proposed…
We study vortices in p-wave superconductors in a Ginzburg-Landau setting. The state of the superconductor is described by a pair of complex wave functions, and the p-wave symmetric energy functional couples these in both the kinetic…
The Landau problem on the flag manifold ${\bf F}_2 = SU(3)/U(1)\times U(1)$ is analyzed from an algebraic point of view. The involved magnetic background is induced by two U(1) abelian connections. In quantizing the theory, we show that the…

A two-dimensional topologically nontrivial state of noninteracting electrons, such as the surface state of a three-dimensional topological insulator, is predicted to realize a topological superconductor when proximity-coupled to an ordinary…
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…
States of strongly interacting particles are of fundamental interest in physics, and can produce exotic emergent phenomena and topological structures. We consider here two-dimensional electrons in a magnetic field, and, departing from the…
Recently we proposed a state described by the second Landau level (SLL) projection of the antiholomorphic Pfaffian wavefunction as a candidate for the ground state of the 5/2 fractional quantum Hall effect. In this paper we provide a…
A monolayer graphene exists in an environment where a uniform magnetic field interacts a spatially modulated magnetic field. The spatially modulated magnetic field could affect Landau levels due to a uniform magnetic field. The modulation…
