APPLICATION OF FERMI-HYPERNETTED-CHAIN THEORY TO COMPOSITE-FERMION QUANTUM HALL STATES

The Fermi-hypernetted-chain (FHNC) theory and the effective hypernette d-chain method are applied to study the composite-fermion (CF) states of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Using this theory we compute, i n the thermodynamic limit, the correlation energy, radial distribution function, and static structure factor for all unprojected CF wave fun ctions. The unprojected excitation Saps for v=1/3,1/5 were obtained by adopting in the FHNC a scheme previously used to compute nuclear matt er excitation spectra. The results obtained so far are consistent with Monte Carlo simulations and small-number exact diagonalizations.
