It is demonstrated that all observed fractions at moderate Landau level fillings in the quantum Hall effect can be obtained without recourse to the phenomenological concept of composite fermions. The possibility of having special topologically nontrivial many-electron wave functions is considered. Their group classification indicates special values of the electron density in the ground states separated by a gap from excited states.
