We briefly review these low-energy effective theories for the quantum Hall effect, with emphasis and language familiar to field theorists. Two models have been proposed for describing the most stable Hall plateaus (the Jain series): the…

We show that the entanglement spectrum associated with a certain class of strongly correlated many-body states --- the wave functions proposed by Laughlin and Jain to describe the fractional quantum Hall effect --- can be very well…

The energy spectra and wavefunctions of up to 14 interacting quasielectrons (QE's) in the Laughlin nu=1/3 fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state are investigated using exact numerical diagonalization. It is shown that at sufficiently high…

We consider the multiple edge states of the Laughlin state and the Pfaffian state. These edge states are globally constrained through the operator algebra of conformal field theory in the bulk. We analyze these constraints by introducing an…

By using the explicit knowledge of the lowest energy single particle wave functions in the presence of an {\it arbitrary} magnetic field, we extend to the case of a torus Jain's idea of looking at the FQHE as a manifestation of an integer…

We construct effective $\mathrm{U}(2)$ Chern-Simons-Ginzburg-Landau theories for Abelian and non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall hierarchies for those which had previously been described only through categorical data or trial wavefunctions.…

Some recently observed fractional quantum Hall states are not easily explained in standard hierarchy/composite fermion schemes. This paper gives a brief introduction to some wavefunctions involving non-Abelian Read-Rezayi states with…

Bosonization dualities relate two different Chern-Simons-matter theories, with bosonic matter on one side replaced by fermionic matter on the other. We first describe a more general class of non-Abelian bosonization dualities. We then…

The Jain theory of hierarchical Hall states is reconsidered in the light of recent analyses that have found exact relations between projected Jain wavefunctions and conformal field theory correlators. We show that the underlying conformal…

Two-component fractional quantum Hall (2C-FQH) states in electron bilayers have been known for decades, yet their experimental realization remained limited to low-order fractions. Here we report on several families of high-order 2C-FQH…

The abelian hierarchy of quantum Hall states accounts for most of the states in the lowest Landau level, and there is evidence of a similar hierarchy of non-abelian states emanating from the {\nu} = 5/2 Moore-Read state in the second Landau…

Fractional quantum Hall states at a half-filled Landau level are believed to carry an integer number $\mathcal{C}$ of chiral Majorana edge modes, reflected in their thermal Hall conductivity. We show that this number determines the primary…
