Abstract: This paper studies the conductance on the universal homology covering space of 2D orbifolds in a strong magnetic field, thereby removing the integrality constraint on the magnetic field in earlier works in the literature. We consider a natural Landau Hamiltonian on and show that its low-lying spectrum consists of a finite number of isolated points. We calculate the von Neumann degree of the associated holomorphic spectral orbibundles when the magnetic field is large, and obtain fractional quantum numbers as the conductance.
