On some quantum Hall states with negative flux

Abstract

Some recently observed fractional quantum Hall states are not easily explained in standard hierarchy/composite fermion schemes. This paper gives a brief introduction to some wavefunctions involving non-Abelian Read-Rezayi states with negative flux that have been proposed as candidates for these new quantum Hall fractions.
