Fractionalisation and dynamics of anyons at $ν=n+1/3$ in fractional quantum Hall effect and their experimental signatures

Abstract: We show the low-lying excitations at filling factor $\nu=n+1/3$ with realistic interactions are contained completely within the well-defined Hilbert space of "Gaffnian quasiholes". Each Laughlin quasihole can thus be understood as a bound state of two Gaffnian quasiholes, which in the lowest Landau level (LLL) behaves like "partons" with "asymptotic freedom" mediated by neutral excitations acting as "gluons". Near the experimentally observed nematic FQH phase in higher LLs, quasiholes become weakly bounded and fractionalise with rich dynamical properties. By studying the effective interactions between quasiholes, we predict a finite temperature phase transition of the Laughlin quasiholes even when the Laughlin ground state remains incompressible, and derive relevant experimental conditions for its possible observations.
