Conformal field theory approach to bulk wave functions in the fractional quantum Hall effect
We propose to describe bulk wave functions of fractional quantum Hall states in terms of correlators of nonunitary $b/c$-spin systems. These yield a promising conformal field-theory analogon of the composite fermion picture of Jain. Fractional statistics are described by twist fields which naturally appear in the $b/c$-spin systems. We provide …
