Abstract: (Oxford Journals)
In the Fractional Quantum Hall state, we get vortex mean field solutions. Imposing rotational invariance, we construct the solution by means of numerical self-consistent method. It is shown that the vortex has a fractional charge, a fractional angular momentum and a magnetic field dependent energy. In ν= 1/3 state, we get finite energy gap at B = 10, 15, 20[T]. We find that the gap vanishes at B = 5.5[T] and becomes negative below it. The uniform mean field becomes unstable toward the vortex pair production below B = 5.5[T] if the fluctuations are ignored.
