We obtain an explicit expression relating the writhing number, $W[C]$, of the quantum path, $C$, with any value of spin, $s$, of the particle which sweeps out that closed curve. We consider a fractal approach to the fractional spin…
It is well known that the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (FQHE) may be effectively represented by a Chern-Simons theory. In order to incorporate QH Skyrmions, we couple this theory to the topological spin current, and include the Hopf term.…

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 $2S$…
We introduce the notion of fractal index associated with the universal class $h$ of particles or quasiparticles, termed fractons, which obey specific fractal statistics. A connection between fractons and conformal field…

A fractional quantization in a two dimensional space is proposed. The angular momenta of the two dimensional electrons are quantized in fractional numbers by the boundary conditions on a multi-layered Riemann surface. Extended wave…
After recalling the concept of the Hausdorff dimension, we study the fractal properties of a quantum particle path. As a novelty we consider the possibility for the space where the particle propagates to be endowed with a…
In a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well of electron density 1x10^{11} cm^{-2} we observe a fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) at filling factors nu=4/11, and 5/13, and weaker states at nu=6/17, 4/13, 5/17 and 7/11. These sequences of fractions do…
