We argue directly also for the fractional charge and fractional quantum statistics of these particles. We show that certain spin-singlet quantum Hall states can be understood as arising from primary polarized states by Skyrmion condensation.12 pages, no figures, compressed postscript fileCondensed MatterHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
