Abstract: We consider the lowest Landau level on a torus as a function of its circumference L1. When L1o0, the ground state at general rational filling fraction is a crystal with a gap--a Tao-Thouless state. For filling fractions u=p/(2pm+1), these states are the limits of Laughlin's or Jain's wave functions describing the gapped quantum Hall states when L1oinfty. For the half-filled Landau level, there is a transition to a Fermi sea of non-interacting neutral dipoles, or rather to a Luttinger liquid modification thereof, at L1sim5 magnetic lengths. This state is a version of the Rezayi-Read state, and develops continuously into the state that is believed to describe the observed metallic phase as L1oinfty. Furthermore, the effective Landau level structure that emerges within the lowest Landau level follows from the magnetic symmetries.
