Quantum Hall Systems: Braid Groups, Composite Fermions, and Fractional Charge

by Arkadiusz Wojs, Konrad Wieczorek, Piotr Sitko

This book presents the wide range of topics in two-dimensional physics of quantum Hall systems, especially fractional quantum Hall states. It covers the fundamental problems of two-dimensional quantum statistics in terms of topology and the corresponding braid group formalism for composite fernions, and the main formalism used in many-body quantum Hall theories, the Chern-Simons theory. Numerical studies are introduced for spherical systems and the...
