The Moore-Read Pfaffian (Pf) state exhibits two distinct neutral excitation modes, the bosonic magnetoroton mode, and the neutral fermion mode. These two modes have been conjectured to be supersymmetric (SUSY) partners in the…
We construct a wavefunction, generalizing the well known Moore-Read Pfaffian, that describes spinless electrons at filling fraction nu=2/5 (or bosons at filling fraction nu=2/3) as the ground state of a very simple three body potential. We…
The mean field composite Fermion (MFCF) picture has been qualitatively successful when applied to electrons (or holes) in the lowest Landau level. Because the energy scales associated with Coulomb interactions and with Chern-Simons gauge…

The observed fractional quantum Hall (FQH) plateaus follow a recurring hierarchical structure that allows an understanding of complex states based on simpler ones. Condensing the elementary quasiparticles of an Abelian FQH state results in…
The nature of the bulk topological order of the 5/2 non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall state and the steady-state of its edge are long-studied questions. The most promising non-Abelian model bulk states are the Pfaffian (Pf), anti-Pffafian…
We investigate putative quantum Hall effect states, labeled by their K-matrix equal to (1 1 3), by defining them on the torus and computing their Hall viscosity. Such states have been introduced on the sphere as a phase distinct from…

The nature of the fractional quantum Hall effect at $\nu=1/2$ observed in wide quantum wells almost three decades ago is still under debate. Previous studies have investigated it by the variational Monte Carlo method, which makes the…
Numerical studies by W\'ojs, Yi and Quinn have suggested that an unconventional fractional quantum Hall effect is plausible at filling factors $\nu=$ 1/3 and 1/5, provided the interparticle interaction has an unusual form for which the…
We compute the effect of Landau-level-mixing on the effective two-body and three-body pseudopotentials for electrons in the lowest and second Landau levels. We find that the resulting effective three-body interaction is attractive in the…
We consider a two dimensional electron system in an external magnetic field at and near an even denominator Landau level filling fraction. Using a fermionic Chern--Simons approach we study the description of the system's low energy…
It is shown, with the help of exact diagonalization studies on systems with up to sixteen electrons, in the presence of up to two delta function impurities, that the Pfaffian model is inadequate for the actual quasiholes and quasiparticles…
We propose trial wave functions for quasiparticle and exciton excitations of the Moore-Read Pfaffian fractional quantum Hall states, both for bosons and for fermions, and study these numerically. Our construction of trial wave functions…
In this paper we study the conditions under which an N-electron wave function for a fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state can be viewed as N-point correlation function in a conformal field theory (CFT). Several concrete examples are presented…
