Abstract
We compute the physical properties of non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states described by Jack polynomials at general filling ν=k/r. For r=2, these states are the Zk Read-Rezayi parafermions, whereas for r>2 they represent new FQH states. The r=k+1 states, multiplied by a Vandermonde determinant, are a non-Abelian alternative construction of states at fermionic filling 2/5,3/7,4/9,.... We obtain the thermal Hall coefficient, the quantum dimensions, the electron scaling exponent, and the non-Abelian quasihole propagator. The properties of the r>2 Jack polynomials indicate they are correlators of fields of nonunitary conformal field theories (CFT), but the CFT-FQH connection fails when invoked to compute physical properties such as the quasihole propagator. The quasihole wave function, written as a coherent state representation of Jack polynomials, has an identical structure for all non-Abelian states.
