We discuss the excitation spectrum of a disordered, isotropic and translationally invariant spin state in the 2D Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The starting point is the nearest-neighbor RVB state which plays the role of the vacuum of the…
If the Zeeman energy is small, the lowest energy excitations of a two dimensional electron gas at filling factor nu=1 are spin waves (spin flip excitations). At nu slightly larger (smaller) than unity, reversed spin electrons (spin holes)…
For quasi-one dimensional quantum spin systems theory predicts the occurrence of a confinement of spinon excitation due to interchain couplings. Here we investigate the system SrCo2V2O8, a realization of the weakly-coupled Ising-like XXZ…
We propose a novel spin liquid state for a spin S=1 antiferromagnet in two dimensions. The ground state violates P and T, is a spin-singlet, and is fully invariant under the lattice symmetries. The spinon and holon excitations are…
Several heavy-fermion metals display a quantum phase transition from an antiferromagnetic metal to a heavy Fermi liquid. In some materials, however, recent experiments seem to find that the heavy Fermi liquid phase can be directly tuned…

In this work we study a system of interacting fermions with large spin and SP(N) symmetry. We contrast their behaviour with the case of SU(N) symmetry by analysing the conserved quantities and the dynamics in each case. We also develop the…
The spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain is ideal for realizing one of the simplest gapless quantum spin-liquids (QSLs), supporting a many-body ground state whose elementary excitations are fractional fermionic excitations called…
