Abstract: A classification of incompressible quantum Hall fluids in terms of integral lattices and arithmetical invariants thereof is proposed. This classification enables us to characterize the plateau values of the Hall conductivity $sH$ in the interval $,(0,1],$ (in units where $,e^2/h=1$) corresponding to ``stable incompressible quantum Hall fluids. A bijection, called shift map, between classes of stable incompressible quantum Hall fluids corresponding to plateaux of $sH$ in the intervals $,[1/(2minip+1),1/(2minip-1)mini),$ and $,[1/(2miniq+1),1/(2miniq-1)mini)$, respectively, is constructed, with $,p,q=1,2,3,(ldots),peqq$. Our theoretical results are carefully compared to experimental data, and various predictions and experimental implications of our theory are discussed.
