Competing orders, non-linear sigma models and topological terms in quantum magnets
A number of examples have demonstrated the failure of the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson LGW paradigm in describing the competing phases and phase transitions of two-dimensional quantum magnets. In this paper, we argue that such magnets possess field theoretic descriptions in terms of their slow fluctuating orders provided certain topological terms are included in the action. These topological terms ma...
متن کاملQuantum Orders and Symmetric Spin Liquids
A concept – quantum order – is introduced to describe a new kind of orders that generally appear in quantum states at zero temperature. Quantum orders that characterize universality classes of quantum states (described by complex ground state wave-functions) is much richer then classical orders that characterize universality classes of finite temperature classical states (described by positive ...
متن کاملMonopole quantum numbers in the staggered flux spin liquid
Algebraic spin liquids, which are exotic gapless spin states preserving all microscopic symmetries, have been widely studied due to potential realizations in frustrated quantum magnets and the cuprates. At low energies, such putative phases are described by quantum electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions. While significant progress has been made in understanding this nontrivial interacting field theo...
متن کاملThermal conductivity and competing orders in d-wave superconductors
We derive the expression for the thermal conductivity κ in the low-temperature limit T → 0 in d-wave superconductors, taking into account the presence of competing orders such as spin-density wave, is-pairing, etc. . The expression is used for analyzing recent experimental data in La2−xSrxCuO4. Our analysis strongly suggests that competing orders can be responsible for anomalies in behavior of ...
متن کاملPossibility of S=1 spin liquids with fermionic spinons on triangular lattices
In this paper, we generalize the fermionic representation for S=1 /2 spins to arbitrary spins. Within a mean field theory we obtain several spin liquid states for spin S=1 antiferromagnets on triangular lattices, including gapless f-wave spin liquid and topologically nontrivial px+ ipy spin liquid. After considering different competing orders, we construct a phase diagram for the J1−J3−K model....
