We extend the noncommutative geometry model of the fractional quantum Hall effect, previously developed by Mathai and the first author, to orbifold symmetric products. It retains the same properties of quantization of the Hall conductance at integer multiples of the fractional Satake orbifold Euler characteristics. We show that it also allows for interesting composite fermions and anyon representations, and possibly for Laughlin type wave functions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
