Wavefunctions for Anyon Superconductors
Abstract
Anyon superconductivity arises from the condensation of mobile anyons rather than from a conventional Cooper instability, yet a systematic wavefunction description remains lacking. We develop a hierarchy-wavefunction construction for superconducting states derived from parent topological orders and identify their off-diagonal long-range order, condensate charge, chiral central charge, and residual topological order through the plasma analogy and topological field theories. We construct Abelian and non-Abelian examples descending from the semion state, a $\nu=2/3$ hierarchy state, the $\nu=1/3$ Laughlin state, $\nu=1$ integer quantum Hall state, and Pfaffian state. Remarkably, for the semion case, the superconducting many-semion wavefunction is equivalent to a state of fermionized anyons filling two effective Landau levels, recovering Laughlin's original construction of semion superconductor. Finally, we show that hierarchy wavefunctions emerge naturally in the dilute, long-distance limit of the anyon-Hilbert-space formulation, which applies to ideal Chern bands and moir\'e bands of twisted bilayer MoTe$_2$. Our results establish a unified wavefunction-level framework linking anyon condensation, superconducting order, and topological field theory.
