Topological order, dimerization, and spinon deconfinement in frustrated spin ladders

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider topological order and dimer order in frustrated spin ladder models and discuss how the occurrence of dimerized or fractionalized phases is dictated by the system's geometry.

Solitonic excitations in the Haldane phase of an S=1 chain

TL;DR: In this article, low-lying excitations in the 1D S = 1 antiferromagnetic valence-bond-solid (VBS) model were studied and the lowest excitations were found to form a discrete triplet branch, separated from the higher-lying continuum.

Low energy properties of a frustrated antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 ladder

TL;DR: In this article, the phase diagram of a frustrated antiferromagnetic spin ladder at zero temperature was determined using the density matrix renormalization group method, and two spin-gapped phases, the Haldane phase and the singlet phase, were identified.

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.
