| contents | The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) is studied in the semiclassical limit in the framework of the Hofstadter model with a short-range interaction between fermions. In the mean-field approximation, the repulsion between fermions leads to a periodic potential. Numerical calculations show that in the case of the periodic potential with a period that is a multiple on $\frac{1}ν$ of the magnetic cell ($ν$ is filling of a separated band) composite Hofstadter bands (HBs) are formed. The composite HBs are split into $\frac{1}ν$ subbands, which are separated by the Dirac points. The Chern number of $γ$-full filled composite HBs is equal to the Chern number $C_γ$ of the corresponding HB. The Chern number, equal to $νC_γ$, corresponds to $ν$-filling of $γ$-composite HB. Thus, FQHE is realized by fractional filling of composite HBs. |
