Abstract
We consider a channel of an incompressible fractional-quantum-Hall-eff ect (FQHE) liquid containing an island of another FQHE liquid. It is p redicted that the resistance of this channel will be periodic in the f lux through the island, with the period equal to an odd integer multip le of the fundamental flux quantum, phi0 = hc/e. The multiplicity depe nds on the quasiparticle charges of the two FQHE liquids.
