Moore--Read construction and explicit monodromies of Laughlin states on Riemann surfaces
Abstract
We revisit the Moore--Read construction of the $\nu=1/k$ Laughlin states on compact Riemann surfaces, deriving their conformal blocks from $U(1)_k$ Chern--Simons theory through the CS/WZW correspondence. We compute their explicit monodromies under quasi-hole transport and Aharonov--Bohm flux insertion, and conjecture that these coincide with the corresponding adiabatic holonomies. Under this identification, we recover classical results on Laughlin states including the flux-averaged Hall conductance $1/k$ via a vector bundle of Laughlin states over $Jac(\Sigma)$. We also relate our construction to the recently developed algebro-geometric approach to higher genus Laughlin states.
