Communicated by L. Brey We have studied collective spin density excitation of fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in rotating Bose–
Einstein condensation for the three filling fractions of first series of Jain’s composite fermion sequences. We
have considered short-ranged contact interactions between the Bose atoms as well as long range Coulomb
interactions to compare the nature of the spectra with FQHE of electrons. Using Monte-Carlo method for finite
but large number of particles, the lowest order collective modes of spin-reversed sectors is calculated here, by
computing the energy differences of the respective excitons from the fully polarized ground states.

Cooper, Wilkin and others applied the idea [6,9,22] to map interact-
ing bosons onto non-interacting spin-less fermions and considered delta
(𝛿) function interaction between the Bose atoms. For ultra-cold dilute
bosons, the scattering between the atoms eventuates only in the s-wave.
The effective interactions between the bosons at low energy limit, can
be represented by a constant 𝑈0 = 4𝜋ℏ2 𝑎𝑠 ∕𝑚 in momentum space,
where 𝑚 is the mass of each particle and 𝑎𝑠 is the s-wave scattering
length.
This interaction gives the well known GP equation [23] for BEC and
superfluid system. In 2D the interaction potential is given by,

with, 𝑔 = 32𝜋ℏ𝜔𝑎𝑠 𝑙2 ∕𝑙𝑧 [11] Where, 𝑙𝑧 = ℏ∕𝑚𝜔 is the characteristic
length and 𝑙 is the magnetic length. The interaction strength can be
tuned by changing scattering length 𝑎𝑠 in presence of magnetic field.
