46. We define the statistical phase θ12 of two operators ψ1 and ψ2 via the relation ψ1 (x) ψ2 (x′) = ei θ12 ψ2 (x′) ψ1 (x). The microscopic construction (Ref.) shows that so defined statistical phase indeed takes integer values for single valued excitations of the Laughlin state (Ref.).

51. In fact, the introduced matrix qαi is an analog of the well known Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix in particle physics.
52. Note that introducing new fields χα = ∑i qαi Φi, one arrives at the action S= ∫ dtdx [K αβ -1 ∂t χα ∂x χβ + Vαβ ∂x χα ∂x χβ], which is often used in the literature. However, this form of the action is not convenient for the classification of effective models and may lead to a number of confusions.
53. Numerical simulations (Ref.) show that for larger values of statistical phases the QH state is not stable and electrons form a Wigner crystal (Ref.).

62. We assume that both QPCs are either in a weak tunneling regime or in a weak backscattering regime. Moreover, we further assume that two channels at each QH edge originate from the same Ohmic contact, and therefore, they are equally biased.

64. Expression 5 implies that, strictly speaking, the amplitudes tℓ in tunneling Hamiltonian 1 contain Wilson lines that connect tunneling point at opposite edges in the left and right QPCs. They have to be taken into account when evaluating the overall AB phase shift in the tunneling amplitudes [Eq. 59].

71. Topological defects (vortices) of the b field, if present in the bulk, change the relation between fields bμi and Aμ. Note, however, that these defects cost a large energy (see also the discussion in Appendix). Therefore, we do not consider them.
72. It is important that at the edge ∂μ jiμ ≠0, therefore the charge density is not determined by the b field. In other words the edge deformation does not generate the topological reconstruction in the bulk and leads only to the accumulation of the charge.
