Fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states host fractionally charged anyons with exotic exchange statistics. Of particular interest are FQH phases supporting non-Abelian anyons, which can encode topologically protected quantum information. In…
In one and two spatial dimensions there is a logical possibility for identical quantum particles different from bosons and fermions, obeying intermediate or fractional (anyon) statistics. We consider applications of a recent Lieb-Thirring…

Exchange statistics are a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics, dictating the symmetry of identical particle wavefunctions and thereby enabling emergent phenomena of many-body quantum states. The exchange-induced unitary…
Within the newly formulated composite fermion hierarchy the filling fraction of a spherical quantum Hall system is obtained when it can be expressed as an odd or even denominator fraction. A plot of $\nu\frac{2S}{N-1}$ as a function of $2S$…

Statistics transmutations to composite fermions in fractional-quantum-Hall-effect systems are considered in the Hartree-Fock approximation and in the RPA. The Hartree-Fock ground-state energy shows that the transmutations are not…

We study a 2+1 dimensional theory of bosons and fermions with an omega ~ k^2 dispersion relation. The most general interactions consistent with specific symmetries impart fractional statistics to the fermions. Unlike examples involving…
We investigate the response to modular transformations and the fractional statistics of Abelian multi-component fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states. In particular, we analytically derive the modular matrices encoding the statistics of…
The quantum Hall states at filling factors $\nu=5/2$ and $7/2$ are expected to have Abelian charge $e/2$ quasiparticles and non-Abelian charge $e/4$ quasiparticles. The non-Abelian statistics of the latter has been predicted to display a…

We generalize the fractional quantum Hall hierarchy picture to apply to arbitrary, possibly non-Abelian, fractional quantum Hall states. Applying this to the nu = 5/2 Moore-Read state, we construct new explicit trial wavefunctions to…
We consider the recent description of elementary particles in terms of Quantum Mechanical Kerr-Newman Black Holes, a description which provides a rationale for and at the same time reconciles the Bohm-hydrodynamical formulation on the one…
The fractional quantum hall effect (FQHE) is a milestone of modern day physics, its disovery paved the way for the study of fractional charges which do not obey abelian physics. However, all FQHE require an external magnetic field in order…

Even-denominator quantum Hall states can host several types of anyons with distinct exchange statistics. Depending on the anyon type, exchanging two quasiparticles can impart a phase to the many-body wave function or even transform it into…
