    Fractional Brownian Motion as a Differentiable Generalized Gaussian Process

    Get PDF
    Brownian motion can be characterized as a generalized random process and, as such, has a generalized derivative whose covariance functional is the delta function. In a similar fashion, fractional Brownian motion can be interpreted as a generalized random process and shown to possess a generalized derivative. The resulting process is a generalized Gaussian process with mean functional zero and covariance functional that can be interpreted as a fractional integral or fractional derivative of the delta-function.Brownian motion, fractional Brownian motion, fractional derivative, covariance functional, delta function, generalized derivative, generalized Gaussian process

    Theory of Four-dimensional Fractional Quantum Hall States

    Full text link
    We propose a pseudo-potential Hamiltonian for the Zhang-Hu's generalized fractional quantum Hall states to be the exact and unique ground states. Analogously to Laughlin's quasi-hole (quasi-particle), the excitations in the generalized fractional quantum Hall states are extended objects. They are vortex-like excitations with fractional charges +()1/m3+(-)1/m^3 in the total configuration space CP3^3. The density correlation function of the Zhang-Hu states indicates that they are incompressible liquid.Comment: 4 page
