The fractional quantum Hall effect has been one of the most active
areas of research in quantum condensed matter physics for nearly
four decades, serving as a paradigm for unexpected and exotic
emergent behavior arising from interactions. This book, featuring a
collection of articles written by experts and a Foreword by Klaus
von Klitzing, the discoverer of quantum Hall effect and winner of
1985 Nobel Prize in physics, aims to provide a coherent account of
the exciting new developments and the current status of the field.
​This book presents a compact personal biography and a collection
of works by Gabriele F. Giuliani - a distinguished condensed matter
theorist who made important contributions to our understanding of
collective effects in electronic materials. In 2012 he passed away
after a long battle with cancer. In addition, the book
features scientific contributions from some of Prof. Giuliani's
former students and collaborators and a number of personal
recollections by friends and colleagues which shed light on the
complex, multifaceted personality of a physicist who was also a
passionate soccer player and formula Ford pilot.

This book was first published in 2007. When electrons are confined
to two dimensions, cooled to near absolute zero temperature, and
subjected to a strong magnetic field, they form an exotic new
collective state of matter. Investigations into this began with the
observations of integral and fractional quantum Hall effects, which
are among the most important discoveries in condensed matter
physics. The fractional quantum Hall effect and a stream of other
unexpected findings are explained by a new class of particles:
composite fermions. This textbook is a self-contained, pedagogical
introduction to the physics and experimental manifestations of
composite fermions. Ideal for graduate students and academic
researchers, it contains numerous exercises to reinforce the
concepts presented. The topics covered include the integral and
fractional quantum Hall effects, the composite-fermion Fermi sea,
various kinds of excitations, the role of spin, edge state
transport, electron solid, bilayer physics, fractional braiding
statistics and fractional local charge.
