Fractional statistics in the fractional quantum Hall effect.

چکیده
A microscopic confirmation of the fractional statistics of the quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall effect has so far been lacking. We calculate the statistics of the composite-fermion quasiparticles at nu=1/3 and nu=2/5 by evaluating the Berry phase for a closed loop encircling another composite-fermion quasiparticle. A careful consideration of subtle perturbations in the trajectory due to the presence of an additional quasiparticle is crucial for obtaining the correct value of the statistics. The conditions for the applicability of the fractional statistics concept are discussed.

Fractional quantum Hall effect and nonabelian statistics
It is argued that fractional quantum Hall effect wavefunctions can be interpreted as conformal blocks of two-dimensional conformal field theory. Fractional statistics can be extended to nonabelian statistics and examples can be constructed from conformal field theory. The Pfaffian state is related to the 2D Ising model and possesses fractionally charged excitations which are predicted to obey n...
متن کاملJ un 1 99 7 Exclusonic Quasiparticles and Thermodynamics of Fractional Quantum Hall Liquids
Quasielectrons and quasiholes in the fractional quantum Hall liquids obey fractional (including nontrivial mutual) exclusion statistics. Their statistics matrix can be determined from several possible state-counting scheme, involving different assumptions on statistical correlations. Thermal activation of quasiparticle pairs and thermodynamic properties of the fractional quantum Hall liquids ne...
متن کاملNon-Abelian Quantum Hall States and Fractional Statistics
The discovery of the fractional quantum Hall effect stimulated the investigation of anyons, particles with fractional statistics which are neither bosons nor fermions. This thesis focuses on the study of quantum Hall states which may support nonAbelian anyons. We first address the validity of assumptions used in the numerical study of such states, and then proceed with analyzing different exper...
متن کاملMutual statistics, braid group, and the fractional quantum Hall effect
We show that the notion of mutual statistics arises naturally from the representation theory of the braid group over the multi-sheeted surface. A Hamiltonian which describes particles moving on the double-sheeted surface is proposed as a model for the bilayered fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) discovered recently. We explicitly show that the quasi-holes of the bilayered Hall fluid display ...
متن کاملThermal activation of exclusonic quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall effect
Quasiparticles of the fractional quantum Hall systems obey fractional (including mutual) exclusion statistics. In this note we study the effects of exclusion statistics on thermal activation of quasiparticle pairs in the approximation of generalized ideal gas. The distribution function for thermally activated quasiparticles is found explicitly for the statistics matrix given by the composite fe...
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...
