4 questions

  1. Higher virial coefficients of the ideal anyon gas: exact determination and regularity in the statistics angle

  2. Completing the cooperative ring exchange theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect: fluctuation-determinant phases, dense-ring summation, collective modes, hierarchy, and the Laughlin connection

  3. Nonlinear saturation and experimental realization of the drift-driven acoustic two-stream instability in solid-state electron-hole plasmas

  4. Beyond the random phase approximation: nonlinear saturation of growing plasma waves and the validity of kinetic theory for nonequilibrium quantum and classical plasmas
