Quasiholes and fermionic zero modes of paired fractional quantum Hall states: the mechanism for nonabelian statistics

Abstract

The quasihole states of several paired states, the Pfaffian, Haldane-Rezayi, and 331 states, which under certain conditions may describe electrons at filling factor $\nu =1/2$ or 5/2, are studied, analytically and numerically, in the spherical geometry, for the Hamiltonians for which the ground states are known exactly. We also find all the ground states (without quasiparticles) of these systems in the toroidal geometry. In each case, a complete set of linearly-independent functions that are energy eigenstates of zero energy is found explicitly. For fixed positions of the quasiholes, the number of linearly-independent states is $2^{n-1}$ for the Pfaffian, $2^{2n-3}$ for the Haldane-Rezayi state; these degeneracies are needed if these systems are to possess nonabelian statistics, and they agree with predictions based on conformal field theory. The dimensions of the spaces of states for each number of quasiholes agree with numerical results for moderate system sizes. The effects of tunneling and of the Zeeman term are discussed for the 331 and Haldane-Rezayi states, as well as the relation to Laughlin states of electron pairs. A model introduced by Ho, which was supposed to connect the 331 and Pfaffian states, is found to have the same degeneracies of zero-energy states as the 331 state, except at its Pfaffian point where it is much more highly degenerate than either the 331 or the Pfaffian. We introduce a modification of the model which has the degeneracies of the 331 state everywhere including the Pfaffian point; at the latter point, tunneling reduces the degeneracies to those of the Pfaffian state. An experimental difference is pointed out between the Laughlin states of electron pairs and the other paired states, in the current-voltage response when electrons tunnel into the edge. And there's more.
