Zero modes, bosonization, and topological quantum order: The Laughlin state in second quantization
Fractional Quantum Hall (FQH) wave functions are usually obtained in a first-quantized language, using special properties of analyticity of the lowest Landau level (LLL) wave functions. Unfortunately, this formalism is not directly applicable to several systems different from the LLL, such as the recently discovered fractional Chern insulators. Introducing a …
