Classification of classical spin liquids: Detailed formalism and suite of examples

H Yan, O Benton, AH Nevidomskyy, R Moessner - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
The hallmark of highly frustrated systems is the presence of many states close in energy to
the ground state. Fluctuations between these states can preclude the emergence of any form …

Curie-law crossover in spin liquids

R Pohle, LDC Jaubert - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The Curie-Weiss law is widely used to estimate the strength of frustration in frustrated
magnets. However, the Curie-Weiss law was originally derived as an estimate of magnetic …

Helical superfluid in a frustrated honeycomb Bose-Hubbard model

TC Hsieh, H Ma, L Radzihovsky - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
We study a “helical” superfluid, a nonzero-momentum condensate in a frustrated bosonic
model. At mean-field Bogoliubov level, such a novel state exhibits “smectic” fluctuation that …

Spiral spin liquid on a honeycomb lattice

S Gao, MA McGuire, Y Liu, DL Abernathy, C Cruz… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Spiral spin liquids are correlated paramagnetic states with degenerate propagation vectors
forming a continuous ring or surface in reciprocal space. On the honeycomb lattice, spiral …

Line-graph approach to spiral spin liquids

S Gao, G Pokharel, AF May, JAM Paddison, C Pasco… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Competition among exchange interactions is able to induce novel spin correlations on a
bipartite lattice without geometrical frustration. A prototype example is the spiral spin liquid …

Ising fracton spin liquid on the honeycomb lattice

B Placke, O Benton, R Moessner - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We study a classical Ising model on the honeycomb lattice with local two-body interactions
and present strong evidence that at low temperature it realizes a higher-rank Coulomb liquid …

Theorem on extensive spectral degeneracy for systems with rigid higher symmetries in general dimensions

Z Nussinov, G Ortiz - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We establish, in the spirit of the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem, lower bounds on the spectral
degeneracy of quantum systems with higher (gaugelike) symmetries with rather generic …

Subsystem symmetries, critical Bose surface, and immobile excitations in an extended compass model

Z Li, CJ Huang, HZ Lu, C Liu - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Subsystem symmetries are of peculiar interest as their relation to many exotic phenomena.
However, realistic models hosting such symmetries are rare. Here we propose an extended …

Kinematically constrained vortex dynamics in charge density waves

M Qi, A Lucas - arXiv preprint arXiv:2310.00051, 2023 - arxiv.org
We build a minimal model of dissipative vortex dynamics in two spatial dimensions, subject
to a kinematic constraint: dipole conservation. The additional conservation law implies …

Magnetic properties of the spiral spin liquid and surrounding phases in the square lattice XY model

MG Gonzalez, A Fancelli, H Yan, J Reuther - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Spiral spin liquids possess a subextensively degenerate ground-state manifold, represented
by a continuum of energy minima in reciprocal space. Since a small change of the spiral …
