چکیده
We show that, m the presence of a strong magnetic field, a two-dimensional interacting electron gas can eifectively be described by a Hamiltonian of'free' hard-Gore anions subject to tl~e magnetic field. According to a new understanding proposed for a set of specific anionic systems, we explain the fractional quantum Hall eifect in a very simple

متن کاملQuasi-particles in Fractional Quantum Hall Effect Edge Theories
We propose a quasi-particle formulation of effective edge theories for the fractional quantum Hall effect. For the edge of a Laughlin state with filling fraction ν = 1 m , our fundamental quasi-particles are edge electrons of charge −e and edge quasi-holes of charge + e m . These quasi-particles satisfy exclusion statistics in the sense of Haldane. We exploit algebraic properties of edge electr...
متن کاملThe alternative to the incompressible fractional charge in quantum Hall effect: Comments on Laughlin and Schrieffer’s papers
The alternative to the incompressible fractional charge in quantum Hall effect: Comments on Laughlin and Schrieffer's papers. Laughlin has found " exactly " the wave function which is ascribed to an excitation of fractional charge, such as e/3. We find that the exactness of the wave function is not destroyed by changing the charge to some other quantity, such as the magnetic field. Thus e/3 and...
متن کاملFractional Quantum Hall Effect without the Pfaffian Wave Function
It is demonstrated that an understanding of the 5 2 fractional quantum Hall effect can be achieved within the composite fermion theory without appealing to the Pfaffian wave function. The residual interaction between composite fermions plays a crucial role in establishing incompressibility at this filling factor. This approach has the advantage of being amenable to systematic perturbative impro...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation method for Laughlin-like states in a disk geometry
We discuss an alternative accurate Monte Carlo method to calculate the ground-state energy and related quantities for Laughlin states of the fractional quantum Hall effect in a disk geometry. This alternative approach allows us to obtain accurate bulk regime ~thermodynamic limit! values for various quantities from Monte Carlo simulations with a small number of particles ~much smaller than that ...
