Fractional Quantum Hall Polynomials and their Mathematical Structures

School
MATHEMATICS

The fractional quantum Hall effect, a striking phenomenon from condensed matter physics, gives rise to a family of remarkable polynomials encoding its ground states on a sphere. These fractional quantum Hall (FQH) polynomials reveal rich algebraic and geometric structures, and their study connects naturally to areas of mathematics such as complex geometry, graph theory, and invariant theory. This three-part lecture series will introduce FQH polynomials from a mathematical perspective, assuming no physics background. In the first session, I will give a geometric introduction to these polynomials from first principles. The second session wil ...
