Anyon Wave Function for the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect

An anyon wave function (characterized by the statistical factor $n$) projected onto the lowest Landau level is derived for the fractional quantum Hall effect states at filling factor $\nu = n/(2pn+1)$ ($p$ and $n$ are integers). We study the properties of the anyon wave function by using detailed Monte Carlo simulations in disk geometry and show that the anyon ground-state energy is a lower bound to the composite fermion one.
