The chiral biquadratic pair interaction

S Brinker, MS Dias, S Lounis - New journal of physics, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Magnetic interactions underpin a plethora of magnetic states of matter, hence playing a
central role both in fundamental physics and for future spintronic and quantum computation …

Scaling of the gap, fidelity susceptibility, and Bloch oscillations across the superfluid-to-Mott-insulator transition in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model

J Carrasquilla, SR Manmana, M Rigol - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular …, 2013 - APS
We investigate the interaction-induced superfluid-to-Mott-insulator transition in the one-
dimensional Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) for fillings n= 1, n= 2, and n= 3 by studying the …

Symmetry Protection of Critical Phases and a Global Anomaly in Dimensions

SC Furuya, M Oshikawa - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
We derive a selection rule among the (1+ 1)-dimensional SU (2) Wess-Zumino-Witten
theories, based on the global anomaly of the discrete Z 2 symmetry found by Gepner and …

Truncation effects in the charge representation of the O (2) model

J Zhang, Y Meurice, SW Tsai - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
The O (2) model in Euclidean space-time is the zero-gauge-coupling limit of the compact
scalar quantum electrodynamics. We obtain a dual representation of it called the charge …

Majorana Fermi surface state in a network of quantum spin chains

FG Oliviero, WB Fontana, RG Pereira - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We use junctions of critical spin-1 chains as the basic elements to construct a honeycomb
network that harbors a gapless chiral spin liquid phase. The low-energy modes are …

Dimerization transitions in spin-1 chains

N Chepiga, I Affleck, F Mila - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We study spontaneous dimerization transitions in a Heisenberg spin-1 chain with additional
next-nearest-neighbor and three-site interactions using extensive numerical simulations and …

Spinon confinement and deconfinement in spin-1 chains

L Vanderstraeten, E Wybo, N Chepiga, F Verstraete… - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
Motivated by the rich phase diagrams recently unveiled in frustrated spin-1 chains with
competing next-nearest-neighbor and four-spin interactions, we investigate the nature of the …

[HTML][HTML] Quantum spin models for the SU (n) 1 Wess–Zumino–Witten model

HH Tu, AEB Nielsen, G Sierra - Nuclear Physics B, 2014 - Elsevier
We propose 1D and 2D lattice wave functions constructed from the SU (n) 1 Wess–Zumino–
Witten (WZW) model and derive their parent Hamiltonians. When all spins in the lattice …

From to Wess-Zumino-Witten transitions in a frustrated spin- chain

N Chepiga, I Affleck, F Mila - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We investigate the properties of a frustrated spin-5/2 chain with next-nearest-neighbor two-
and three-site interactions, with two questions in mind: the nature of the transition into the …

Spontaneous dimerization, critical lines, and short-range correlations in a frustrated spin-1 chain

N Chepiga, I Affleck, F Mila - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We report on a detailed investigation of the spin-1 J 1-J 2-J 3 Heisenberg model, a frustrated
model with nearest-neighbor coupling J 1, next-nearest neighbor coupling J 2, and a three …
