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…
We demonstrate that at a filling of $n=1.5$, an hexatic insulating state obtains in the extended Hubbard model on a triangular lattice. Composed of two tetragonal sublattices with fillings of $n=1$ and $n=2$, the insulating state is charge…
We consider manifestations of topological order in time-reversal-symmetric fractional topological liquids (TRS-FTLs), defined on planar surfaces with holes. We derive a formula for the topological ground state degeneracy of such a TRS-FTL,…

At low Landau level filling of a two-dimensional electron system, typically associated with the formation of an electron crystal, we observe local minima in Rxx at filling factors nu=2/11, 3/17, 3/19, 2/13, 1/7, 2/15, 2/17, and 1/9. Each of…
It has been shown recently that local four-fermion interactions on the edges of two-dimensional time-reversal-invariant topological insulators give rise to a new non-Fermi-liquid phase, called helical Luttinger liquid (HLL). In this work,…
The form of electron correlations in a partially filled degenerate Landau level (LL) is related to the behavior of the anharmonic part of the interaction pseudopotential. Unlike in the lowest LL, the pseudopotential in the first excited LL…

Topological phases of matter are usually realized in deconfined phases of gauge theories. In this context, confined phases with strongly fluctuating gauge fields seem to be irrelevant to the physics of topological phases. For example, the…
