Abstract
In order to obtain a local description of the short distance physics of fractionally quantized Hall states for realistic (e.g. Coulomb) interactions, I propose to view the zeros of the ground state wave function, as seen by an individual test electron from far away, as particles. I then present evidence in support of this interpretation, and argue that the electron effectively decomposes into quark-like constituent particles of fractional charge.
