Correlation-Hole Induced Paired Quantum Hall States in the Lowest Landau Level
Correlation-Hole Induced Paired Quantum Hall States in the Lowest Landau Level
A theory is developed for the paired even-denominator fractional quantum Hall states in the lowest Landau level. We show that electrons bind to quantized vortices to form composite fermions, interacting through an exact instantaneous interaction that favors chiral $p$-wave pairing. There are two canonically dual pairing gap functions related by …
