We examine the quantum phase diagram of the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in the lowest two Landau levels in half-filled bilayer structures as a function of tunneling strength and layer separation, i.e., we revisit the lowest Landau…

We study a model fractional quantum Hall (FQH) wavefunction called the Gaffnian state, which is believed to represent a gapless, strongly correlated state that is very different from conventional metals. To understand this exotic gapless…

The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) stands as a quintessential manifestation of an interacting two-dimensional electron system. One of FQHE's most fundamental characteristics is the energy gap separating the incompressible ground…

The fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect at the filling factor $\nu=5/2$ was discovered in GaAs heterostructures more than 35 years ago. Various topological orders have been proposed as possible candidates to describe this FQH state. Some…

We consider the quantum phase transitions of fractons in correspondence with the quantum phase transitions of the fractional quantum Hall effect-FQHE. We have that the Hall states can be modelled by fractons, known as charge-flux systems…

Can the properties of the thermodynamic limit of a many-body quantum system be extrapolated by analysing a sequence of finite-size cases? We present a model for which such an approach gives completely misleading results: a translationally…

In fractional quantum Hall physics, the Hilbert space is projected to a single Landau level and the entire Hamiltonian consists of just the projected inter-electron interaction. Haldane's pseudopotential formalism has been an extremely…

One of the central tenets of the theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect is that the bulk quantized Hall response requires the existence of a gapless chiral edge mode. The field theoretical arguments for this rely on locality. While…
