Abstract

Fermionic valence bond approach in terms of SU(4) representation is proposed to describe the J1J2J_{1}-J_{2} frustrated Heisenberg antiferromagnetic (AF) model on a {\it bipartite} square lattice. A uniform mean field solution without breaking the translational and rotational symmetries describes a valence bond spin liquid state, interpolating the two different AF ordered states in the large J1J_{1} and large J2J_{2} limits, respectively. This novel spin liquid state is gapless with the vanishing density of states at the Fermi nodal points. Moreover, a sharp resonance peak in the dynamic structure factor is predicted for momenta q=(0,0){\bf q}=(0,0) and (π,π)(\pi ,\pi) in the strongly frustrated limit J2/J11/2J_{2}/J_{1}\sim 1/2, which can be checked by neutron scattering experiment.
