Long-Range Order and Composite Boson Condensation in Lattice Quantum Hall States

Topological states of matter, such as quantum Hall states, are characterized by the absence of local order parameters. In the continuum, their topological order has been reinterpreted as the condensation of nonlocal composite bosons, but this condensation and the resulting long-range correlations have so far eluded dir...
