On the High–Temperature Expansion for the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect — •S. Sawatdiaree and W. Apel — Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Bundesallee 100, 38116 Braunschweig

We consider electrons moving in two dimensions in a strong magnetic field in the limit, in which only states of the lowest Landau level are occupied. For the case of a short–range electron–electron interaction, we calculate the high–temperature expansion of the grand canonical thermodynamic potential exactly up to seventh order in the interaction, thus extending earlier work by Zheng and MacDonald[1]. For this expansion, a direct method is used which circumvents the calculation of frequency sums. The calculation uses a symbolic computer program. We prove explicitely the equivalence of our method with the perturbation theoretical treatment of Ref. [1] in the lowest orders. The resulting series for the energy per particle is then extrapolated to small temperatures with three different methods.
