We derive the low-energy theory of semi-quantized quantum Hall states, a recently observed class of gapless bilayer fractional quantum Hall states. Our theory shows these states to feature gapless quasiparticles of fractional charge coupled to an emergent Chern-Simons gauge field. These gapless quasiparticles can be understood as composites of electrons and Laughlin-like quasiparticles. We show that semi-quantized quantum Hall states exhibit perfect interlayer drag, host non-Fermi liquid…

Interlayer fractional quantum Hall effect in a coupled graphene double layer

When a strong magnetic field is applied to a two-dimensional electron system, interactions between the electrons can cause fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effects1,2. Bringing two two-dimensional…

The Chern-Simons-Landau-Ginzburg theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect

This paper gives a systematic review of a field theoretical approach to the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) that has been developed in the past few years. We first illustrate some simple…

Theory of the half-filled Landau level.

A two-dimensional electron system in an external magnetic field, with Landau-level filling factor \ensuremath{\nu}=1/2, can be transformed to a mathematically equivalent system of fermions…

Fractionalization

We provide new measures of ethnic, linguistic and religious fractionalization for about 190 countries. These measures are more comprehensive than those previously used in the economics literature and…

Exactly soluble model for a fractionalized Weyl semimetal

We construct an exactly solvable lattice model of a fractional Weyl semimetal. The low-energy theory of this strongly interacting state is that of a Weyl semimetal built out of fractionally charged…

Construction of a paired wave function for spinless electrons at filling fractionν=2∕5

We construct a wavefunction, generalizing the well known Moore-Read Pfaffian, that describes spinless electrons at filling fraction nu=2/5 (or bosons at filling fraction nu=2/3) as the ground state…
