Parafermion statistics and application to non-Abelian quantum Hall states

The (exclusion) statistics of parafermions is used to study degeneracies of quasiholes over the paired (or in general clustered) quantum Hall states. The focus is on the Z(k) and su(3)(k)/u(1)(2) parafermions, which are used in the description of spin-polarized and spin-singled clustered quantum Hall states.
