Spin-singlet Gaffnian wave function for fractional quantum Hall systems
We characterize in detail a wave function conceivable in fractional quantum
Hall systems where a spin or equivalent degree of freedom is present. This wave
function combines the properties of two previously proposed quantum Hall wave
functions, namely the non-Abelian spin-singlet state and the nonunitary
Gaffnian wave function. This is a spin-singlet generalization of the
spin-polarized Gaffnian, which we call the "spin-singlet Gaffnian" (SSG). In
this paper we present evidence demonstrating that the SSG corresponds to the
ground state of a certain local Hamiltonian, which we explicitly construct,
and, further, we provide a relatively simple analytic expression for the unique
ground-state wave functions, which we define as the zero energy eigenstates of
that local Hamiltonian. In addition, we have determined a certain nonunitary,
rational conformal field theory which provides an underlying description of the
SSG and we thus conclude that the SSG is ungapped in the thermodynamic limit.
In order to verify our construction, we implement two recently proposed
techniques for the analysis of fractional quantum Hall trial states: The "spin
dressed squeezing algorithm", and the "generalized Pauli principle".Comment: 15 pages, 2 figures. Version 3 fixes a typographical error in the
Hamiltonian, Eq 3. Version 2 incorporates referee and editorial suggestions.
The original title "Putting a Spin on the Gaffnian" was deemed to be too

Composite fermion model for entanglement spectrum of fractional quantum Hall states
We show that the entanglement spectrum associated with a certain class of
strongly correlated many-body states --- the wave functions proposed by
Laughlin and Jain to describe the fractional quantum Hall effect --- can be
very well described in terms of a simple model of non-interacting (or weakly
interacting) composite fermions.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure
microsynth: Synthetic Control Methods for Disaggregated and Micro-Level Data in R
The R package microsynth has been developed for implementation of the synthetic control methodology for comparative case studies involving micro- or meso-level data. The methodology implemented within microsynth is designed to assess the efficacy of a treatment or intervention within a well-defined geographic region that is itself a composite of several smaller regions (where data are available at the more granular level for comparison regions as well). The effect of the intervention on one or more time-varying outcomes is evaluated by determining a synthetic control region that resembles the treatment region across pre-intervention values of the outcome(s) and time-invariant covariates and that is a weighted composite of many untreated comparison regions. The microsynth procedure includes functionality that enables its user to (1) calculate weights for synthetic control, (2) tabulate results for statistical inferences, and (3) create time series plots of outcomes for treatment and synthetic control. In this article, microsynth is described in detail and its application is illustrated using data from a drug market intervention in Seattle, WA
