Pairing of composite fermions provides a possible mechanism for fractional quantum Hall effect at even denominator fractions and is believed to serve as a platform for realizing quasiparticles with non-Abelian braiding statistics. We…
A topological interpretation of the electron--electron interaction under FQHE conditions gives rise to the existence of some kind of composite fermions. The interaction term is similar to the Coulomb interaction and produces punctures in…
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…

The High Landau level filling fractions 5/2, 7/3 and 8/3 are interpreted by using the angular momentum model. It is found that for the odd number of flux quanta, the quasiparticles called the ``composite fermions'' are fermions but for even…
