Fluctuations in spin nematics

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of low-energy excitations on the parity of spin 1 and 3/2 was investigated and the perturbation theory was shown to be logarithmically divergent under certain conditions.

Reexamination of Finite-Lattice Extrapolation of Haldane Gaps

TL;DR: In this paper, two methods of estimating a systematic error in extrapolation to the infinite-size limit in the study of measuring the Haldane gaps of the one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet with the integer spin up to S = 5 were proposed.

Generalization of the Haldane conjecture to SU($n$) chains

TL;DR: In this article, a rank-p symmetric representation with n and p coprime was considered, and it was shown that the ground state degenerates to a unique ground state with a finite energy gap.

Lattice Homotopy Constraints on Phases of Quantum Magnets.

TL;DR: It is conjecture that all LSM-like theorems for quantum magnets can be understood from lattice homotopy, which automatically incorporates the full spatial symmetry group of the lattice, including all its point-group symmetries.

Connecting global and local energy distributions in quantum spin models on a lattice

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that due to the local nature of the governing interactions, these distributions are identical to what one encounters in the commuting cases, up to exponentially small corrections.

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.
