Fractional quantum Hall states on CP2 space

We study four-dimensional fractional quantum Hall states on CP2 geometry from microscopic approaches. While in 2d the standard Laughlin wave function, given by a power of Vandermonde determinant, admits a product representation in terms of the Jastrow factor, this is no longer true in higher dimensions. In 4d, we can define two different types of Laughlin wave functions, the determinant-Laughlin and Jastrow-Laughlin states. We find that they are exactly annihilated by, respectively, two-particle and three-particle short-ranged interacting Hamiltonians. We then mainly focus on the ground state, low-energy excitations, and the quasihole degeneracy of determinant-Laughlin state. The quasihole degeneracy exhibits an anomalous counting, indicating the existence of multiple forms of quasihole wave functions. We argue that these are captured by the mathematical framework of "commutative algebra of Npoints in the plane." The microscopic wave functions and Hamiltonians studied in this work pave the way for a systematic study of a high-dimensional topological phase of matter that is potentially realizable in cold atom and optical experiments.
