Quantum Group Symmetry and Quantum Hall Wavefunctions on a Torus

Abstract

We find a quantum group structure in two-dimensional motion of nonrelativistic electrons in a uniform magnetic field on a torus. The representation basis of the quantum algebra is composed of the quantum Hall wavefunctions proposed by Haldane-Rezayi at the Landau-level filling factor $ν=1/m$ ($m$ odd). It is also shown that the quantum group symmetry is relevant to the degenerate Landau states and the deformation parameter of the quantum algebra is given by the filling factor.
