We study spin-flip and spin-wave excitations for arbitrarily polarized quantum Hall states by employing a fermionic Chern-Simons gauge theory in the low Zeeman energy limit. We show that the spin-flip correlation functions do not get…

A fermion node is subset of fermionic configurations for which a real wave function vanishes due to the antisymmetry and the node divides the configurations space into compact nodal cells (domains). We analyze the properties of fermion…
