Introduction to even-denominator FQHE: composite fermions
In this talk we will switch gears to the FQHE of electrons with internal degrees of freedom (DOFs), such as real spin, valley, layer, etc., and discuss its implications for previously discussed odd-denominator fractions. After a formal treatment of the spin DOF in the FQHE, we will revisit the Moore-Read state, and discuss its theory and predictions.
