Quantitatively improved finite-size criteria for spectral gaps

Abstract

Finite-size criteria have emerged as an effective tool for deriving spectral gaps in higher-dimensional frustration-free quantum spin systems. We quantitatively improve the existing finite-size criteria by introducing a novel subsystem weighting scheme. The approach applies to Euclidean lattices of any dimension, the honeycomb lattice, and the triangular lattice.
