A ferrimagnetic spin model composed of $S=1/2$ spin-dimers and $S=5/2$ spin-chains is studied by combining the bond-operator representation (for $S=1/2$ spin-dimers) and Holstein-Primakoff transformation (for $S=5/2$ spins). A finite…
The problem of confinement of neutral fermions in two-dimensional space-time is approached with a pseudoscalar double-step potential in the Dirac equation. Bound-state solutions are obtained when the coupling is of sufficient intensity. The…

We describe a controllable and unbiased strong-coupling diagrammatic Monte Carlo technique that is applicable to a wide range of fermionic systems and spin models. Unlike previous strong coupling methods that generally rely on the…
We present a theory for the lightly doped t-J model which is of possible relevance for the normal state of underdoped cuprates. Starting from an arbitrary dimer covering of the plane an exact representation of the t-J Hamiltonian in terms…
The microscopic structure of a charge stripe in an antiferromagnetic insulator is studied within the t-Jz model using analytical and numerical approaches. We demonstrate that a stripe in an antiferromagnet should be viewed as a system of…
