The parton theory constructs candidate fractional quantum Hall states by decomposing the physical particles into unphysical partons, placing the partons in integer quantum Hall states, and then gluing the partons back into the physical…
Most of the fractions observed to date belong to the sequences $\nu=n/(2pn\pm 1)$ and $\nu=1-n/(2pn\pm 1)$, $n$ and $p$ integers, understood as the familiar {\em integral} quantum Hall effect of composite fermions. These sequences fail to…
In this letter, we discuss the recently proposed fractional quantum Hall effect in the absence of Landau levels. It is shown that the parton construction can explain all properties of 1/3 state, including the effective charge of…
