Abstract

A computational scheme has been developed to determine the energies of neutral excitations in fractional states of the quantum Hall effect. The fractional states are brought into a general hierarchical system (Farey-number hierarchy structure). It is shown that in addition to the well-known hierarchy of fractional states (Laughlin–Jane), there are other ‘dark hierarchies’ of fractional quantum Hall effect that are not observed experimentally in the most highly mobile samples but can have a significant impact on the thermodynamics and spectral characteristics of fractional quantum Hall effect states. The connection of the ‘dark hierarchies’ of fractional quantum Hall effect with the existing experimental data is considered.
