We study the recently proposed trial states for the fractional quantum Hall effect, which are constructed by multiplying the wavefunction for filled Landau levels with Jastrow correlation factors. In spite of the essential use of higher Landau levels, we demonstrate the validity of the variational states using Monte Carlo methods by showing that the Jastrow factors ensure (i) these states lie predominantly in the lowest Landau level and (ii) they have very low interaction energies.

Regarding electrons as anyons of index αs pierced with -(m+αs) flux quanta per particle, and letting the mean field of these fluxes cancel the external magnetic field B, we obtain the filling factor ν=1/(m+αs), where m must be odd. Demanding the resulting system of anyons to exhibit "anyon supercanductivity", we obtain αs=±(1-q/n) where q is odd, and n>q is relatively prime to q. For q=1 we recover a formula due to Jain, and resolve the mystery why, for a state with ν=n/(2pn±1)<1 he requires use of the statistical correlation of n filled Landau levels. For q=3,5,⋯, we obtain the fractions 4/11, 4/13, 5/13, etc., which are missing from Jain's list. Thus this non-heirarchical approach to the non-1/m fractional quantum Hall effect has the strengths of Jain's composite-fermion approach, but not its (potential) weaknesses.
