QUAFITIZED HALL EFFECT IM VERY STRONG MAGEETIC FIELD

The experimentally observed quantized Hall plateau of P_xy=3h/e² in two-dimensional electron gas, when the lowest Landau level is 1/3 filled, is discussed. The consistency of the cxtremal condition for the Hartree-Fock potential in the possible charge-density-wave state with, opening an energy gap at the Fermi level is indicated. The exactness of Such 1/3 "fractional" quantization might be justified by a modified version of Laughlin's argument based on gauge invariance.
