Kitaev model in regular hyperbolic tilings

Abstract

We study the Kitaev model on regular hyperbolic trivalent tilings. Depending on the length pp of the elementary polygons, we examine two distinct tri-colorings of the tiling. Using a recent conjecture on the ground-state flux sector, we compute the phase diagram via exact diagonalizations and derive analytical expressions for the effective Hamiltonians in the isolated-dimer limit which are valid for all values of pp. Our results interpolate between the Euclidean honeycomb lattice and the trivalent Bethe lattice (p=p=\infty) for which we derive the exact solution of the phase boundaries.
