String order and hidden topological symmetry in the SO(2n+1) symmetric matrix product states

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of exactly soluble Hamiltonians with either SO(2n + 1) or SU(2) symmetry was introduced, whose ground states are the SO( 2n+ 1) symmetric matrix product states, which can be fully identified and characterized by a set of nonlocal string order parameters.

Quantum Magnetism in Minerals

TL;DR: The recent surge of interest in magnetism and quantum magnetism was largely encouraged by crystalline structures of natural minerals realizing pyrochlore, kagome, or triangular arrangements of magnetic ions as discussed by the authors.

Entanglement, non-Hermiticity, and duality

TL;DR: In this paper, a duality was proposed to diagnose quantum entanglement of non-Hermitian non-interacting fermionic systems with a complete set of biorthonormal eigenvectors and an entirely real energy spectrum.

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.
