Abstract

We review the recently developed bi-partite composite fermion model, in the context of so-called Pfaffian incompressible quantum liquid with fractional and non-Abelian quasiparticle statistics, a promising model for describing the correlated many-electron ground state responsible for fractional quantum Hall effect at the Landau level filling factor ? = 5/2. We use the concept of composite fermion partitions to demonstrate the emergence of an essential ingredient of the non-Abelian braid statistics – the topological degeneracy of spatially indistinguishable configurations of multiple widely separated (non-interacting) quasiparticles.
