23. This is not true on a topologically nontrivial manifold such as the torus, wherein a careful evaluation of the correlators yields extra factors in addition to the periodized version of the wave functions presented here.

26. Working out a few examples, this is fairly evident, and we have not bothered to construct a formal proof.

38. For example, the TT state at 12/29 is (02 101) 3 01 (02 101) 2 01. As discussed in the text, two-filled effective Landau levels, ν =1+1, corresponds to 02 101 a; letting b=01, we have (02 101) 3 01 (02 101) 2 01= a3 b a2 b. Thus, b has been inserted in two out of five equivalent positions, and hence, one may interpret the 12/29 state as a ν =1+1+2/5 CF state. To minimize the energy, the b are as far separated as possible in the a state.
