Quantum transition in bilayer states

Abstract

I study the possible phase transitions when two layers at filling factor ${\nu }_t=1$ are gradually separated. In the bosonic case the system should undergo a pairing transition from a Fermi liquid to an incompressible state. In the Fermionic case, the state evolves from an incompressible $(1,1,1)$ state to a Fermi liquid. I speculate that there is an intermediate phase involving charge two quasiparticles.
