One kind of hierarchical wave functions of Fractional Quantum Hall Effect on the torus is constructed. We find that the wave functions are closely related to the wave functions of generalized Abelian Chern-Simons theory.

This paper gives a systematic review of a field theoretical approach to the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) that has been developed in the past few years. We first illustrate some simple physical ideas to motivate such an approach and then present a systematic derivation of the Chern–Simons–Landau–Ginzburg (CSLG) action for the FQHE, starting from the microscopic Hamiltonian. It is demonstrated that all the phenomenological aspects of the FQHE can be derived from the mean field solution and the small fluctuations of the CSLG action. Although this formalism is logically independent of Laughlin's wave function approach, their physical consequences are equivalent. The CSLG theory demonstrates a deep connection between the phenomena of superfluidity and the FQHE, and can provide a simple and direct formalism to address many new macroscopic phenomena of the FQHE.

We prove the non-renormalization theorem resulting in the exact cancellation of Chern-Simons term (and superconductivity) in systems of both free and interacting anyons with the statistical parameter 1/N. The theorem is used to prove the quantization of transverse conductance in the proposed second-quantized fermionic description of fractional quantum Hall effect.

These lecture notes are intended to provide an introduction to Chern-Simons theories and “anyons” for readers with interests in condensed matter physics. I discuss applications of anyons in the fractional quantum Hall effect and to superconductivity.
