I demonstrate that the wavefunction for a nu = n+ tilde{nu} quantum Hall state with Landau levels 0,1,...,n-1 filled and a filling fraction tilde{nu} quantum Hall state with 0 < tilde{nu} \leq 1 in the nth Landau level can be obtained…
We generalize the fractional quantum Hall hierarchy picture to apply to arbitrary, possibly non-Abelian, fractional quantum Hall states. Applying this to the nu = 5/2 Moore-Read state, we construct new explicit trial wavefunctions to…

The occurrence of incompressible quantum fluid states of a two dimensional system is a result of electron--electron interactions in a highly degenerate fractionally filled Landau level. Novel quasiparticles (QP's) called composite Fermions…
We compare quantum Hall systems at filling factor 2 to those at filling factors 2/3 and 2/5, corresponding to the exact filling of two lowest electron or composite fermion (CF) Landau levels. The two fractional states are examples of CF…
The coupled-wire construction provides a useful way to obtain microscopic Hamiltonians for various two-dimensional topological phases, among which fractional quantum Hall states are paradigmatic examples. Using the recently introduced flux…
We derive semiclassical ground state solutions that correspond to the quantum Hall states earlier found in the Maxwell-Chern-Simons matrix theory. They realize the Jain composite-fermion construction and their density is piecewise constant…
