Quantum fluctuations can inhibit long-range ordering in frustrated magnets and potentially lead to quantum spin liquid (QSL) phases. A prime example are gapless QSLs with …
We consider the role of coordinate-dependent Fermi velocities, equivalent to effective tetrad (or vierbein) frame fields characterizing momentum space geometry, and torsional Landau …
Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are relevant to describe the features of a broad class of physical phenomena, ranging from photonics and atomic and molecular systems to nuclear …

The interface between different quantum phases of matter can give rise to novel physics, such as exotic topological phases or nonunitary conformal field theories. Here we …
In this paper we explore the properties of a one-dimensional spin chain in the presence of chiral interactions, focusing on the system's transition to distinct chiral phases for various …
The competition between fractionalized spin-liquid states and magnetically ordered phases is an important paradigm in frustrated magnetism. Spin-orbit coupled Mott insulators with …

Effective relativistic field theory models capable of realizing various gapless topological states are presented in this work. We study the topological phase transitions of the Weyl and …

We demonstrate that Z 2 gauge transformations and lattice deformations in Kitaev's honeycomb lattice model can have the same description in the continuum limit in terms of a …
