Theory of four-dimensional fractional quantum Hall states

We propose a pseudo-potential Hamiltonian for the Zhang-Hu’s generalized fractional quantum Hall states to be the exact and unique ground states. Analogously to Laughlin’s quasi-hole (quasi-particle), the excitations in the generalized fractional quantum Hall states are extended objects. They are vortex-like excitations with fractional charges +(−)1/m³ in the total configuration space CP³. The density correlation function of the Zhang-Hu states indicates that they are incompressible liquid.
