Quantum spin liquid states

Y Zhou, K Kanoda, TK Ng - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
This is an introductory review of the physics of quantum spin liquid states. Quantum
magnetism is a rapidly evolving field, and recent developments reveal that the ground states …

Flag manifold sigma models: spin chains and integrable theories

I Affleck, D Bykov, K Wamer - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
This review is dedicated to two-dimensional sigma models with flag manifold target spaces,
which are generalizations of the familiar CP n− 1 and Grassmannian models. They naturally …

Anomaly and global inconsistency matching: angles, nonlinear sigma model, chains, and generalizations

Y Tanizaki, T Sulejmanpasic - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
We discuss the SU (3)/[U (1)× U (1)] nonlinear sigma model in 1+ 1D and, more broadly, its
linearized counterparts. Such theories can be expressed as U (1)× U (1) gauge theories and …

Projective symmetry group classification of chiral spin liquids

S Bieri, C Lhuillier, L Messio - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We present a general review of the projective symmetry group classification of fermionic
quantum spin liquids for lattice models of spin S= 1/2. We then introduce a systematic …

Theory of a competitive spin liquid state for weak Mott insulators on the triangular lattice

RV Mishmash, JR Garrison, S Bieri, C Xu - Physical Review Letters, 2013 - APS
We propose a novel quantum spin liquid state that can explain many of the intriguing
experimental properties of the low-temperature phase of the organic spin liquid candidate …

Semi-classical simulation of spin-1 magnets

K Remund, R Pohle, Y Akagi, J Romhányi… - Physical Review …, 2022 - APS
Theoretical studies of magnets have traditionally concentrated on either classical spins, or
the extreme quantum limit of spin-1/2. However, magnets built of spin-1 moments are also …

Gapless chiral spin liquid in a kagome Heisenberg model

S Bieri, L Messio, B Bernu, C Lhuillier - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
Motivated by recent experiments on the Heisenberg S= 1/2 quantum spin liquid candidate
material kapellasite, we classify all possible chiral (time-reversal symmetry breaking) spin …

[HTML][HTML] Generalization of the Haldane conjecture to SU (3) chains

M Lajkó, K Wamer, F Mila, I Affleck - Nuclear Physics B, 2017 - Elsevier
We apply field theory methods to SU (3) chains in the symmetric representation, with p
boxes in the Young tableau, mapping them into a flag manifold nonlinear σ-model with a …

Chiral Spin Liquids in Triangular-Lattice Fermionic Mott Insulators with Artificial Gauge Fields

P Nataf, M Lajkó, A Wietek, K Penc, F Mila, AM Läuchli - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We show that, in the presence of a π/2 artificial gauge field per plaquette, Mott insulating
phases of ultracold fermions with SU (N) symmetry and one particle per site generically …

Detecting spin fractionalization in a spinon Fermi surface spin liquid

YD Li, G Chen - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
Motivated by the recent proposal that several candidate materials such as YbMgGaO 4
could be spinon Fermi surface spin liquids, we explore the experimental consequences of …
