Abstract We analyze the phase transition between spin-singlet and spin-polarized states which occurs at ν = 2 3 . The basic strategy is to use adiabatic flux-trading arguments to relate this transition to the analogous transition at ν = 2. The transition is found to be similar to a transition in ferromagnets. In our analysis, we find two possible scenarios. In one, the transition is first-order, in agreement with experimental and numerical studies of the ν = 2 3 transition. In the other, we…

Abstract We review a recent development in the theoretical understanding of the ν =5/2 quantum Hall plateau and propose a new conformal field theory, slightly different from the Moore–Read one, to

Within the random-phase approximation a new, low-lying, diffusive mode, not present in the \ensuremath{\nu}=1/2 single-layer system, is found, which leads to more singular low-energy scattering and an attractive pairing interaction between fermions in different layers which grows stronger as the layer spacing is decreased.
