Distinct shifts of the cyclotron resonance position correlating with variou
s fractional Landau-level fillings were observed for high-mobility electron
space-charge layers in GaAs. In the magnetic quantum limit the shifts are
reversed for incompressible liquids in the filling factor regimes v < 0.5 a
nd 0.5 < v < 1. We propose an explanation based nn a many-body induced reno
rmalization of the electron effective mass. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
