Fractional Statistics and the Quantum Hall Effect
The statistics of quasiparticles entering the quantum Hall effect are deduced from the adiabatic theorem. These excitations are found to obey fractional statistics, a result clo...

In this paper, we present a theory of the singlet quantum Hall effect (SQHE). We show that the Halperin-Haldane SQHE wave function can be written in the form of a product of a w...
Nobel Lecture: The fractional quantum Hall effect
The fractional quantum Hall effect is a very counterintuitive physical phenomenon. It implies that many electrons, acting in concert, can create new particles having a charge sm...
