Mechanism for particle fractionalization and universal edge physics in quantum Hall fluids

Fractional quantum Hall states are the best known examples of emergent quantum matter with topological order. Here, the authors present a fusion mechanism for particle fractionalization and a conjecture on the universal long-distance behavior of edge excitations in fractional quantum Hall fluids.
