Gapless topological phases and symmetry-enriched quantum criticality

TL;DR: In this article, the symmetry properties of operators in low-energy conformal field theory (CFT) provide discrete invariants, establishing the notion of symmetry-enriched quantum criticality.

Haldane-gapped spin chains: Exact low-temperature expansions of correlation functions

TL;DR: In this paper, the static and dynamic properties of gapped, one-dimensional, Heisenberg, antiferromagnetic, spin chains at finite temperature through an analysis of the O(3) nonlinear sigma model were investigated.

D-theory: field quantization by dimensional reduction of discrete variables

TL;DR: D-theory as mentioned in this paper is an alternative nonperturbative approach to quantum field theory formulated in terms of discrete quantized variables instead of classical fields, where classical scalar fields were replaced by generalized quantum spins and classical gauge fields are replaced by quantum links.

Competition between Spin-Peierls Phase and Three-Dimensional Antiferromagnetic Order in CuGe1-xSixO3

TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative interpretation of the phase diagram (T, x) is given, where the Si doping has a drastic effect on the spin-Peierls temperature TSP which decreases at TSP (x)/TSP (0) 1-50x at low Si concentrations.

Integrable Hamiltonian systems and interactions through quadratic constraints

TL;DR: In this article, the relativistic field theories in one time and one space dimension with interactions that are entirely due to quadratic constraints are shown to be closely related to integrable Hamiltonian systems.

Interaction of Goldstone Particles in Two-Dimensions. Applications to Ferromagnets and Massive Yang-Mills Fields

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that due to interaction the regime of the asymmptotic freedom arises and the continuation to higher dimensions and the applications of the result are briefly discussed.

What is the spin of a spin wave

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the spin of a spin wave in the Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain of spins 1 2 is equal to 1 2 rather than 1 as is generally considered to be true.
