These wave functions are constructed through breaking and subsequent restoration of the circular symmetry, and they offer a natural alternative to the Laughlin and composite-fermion functions. Underlying our approach is a collectively-rotating-electron-molecule picture. The angular momenta allowed by molecular symmetry correspond to the filling-factors' hierarchy of the fractional quantum Hall effect.Latex/Revtex, 5 pages.
