We have studied the Heisenberg antiferromagnets on two-dimensional frustrated lattices, triangular and kagome lattices using linear spin-wave theory. A collinear ground state ordering is possible if one of the three bonds in each triangular…
The Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice is an archetypal instance of how large ground state degeneracies arise, and how they may get resolved by thermal and quantum fluctuations. Augmenting the Heisenberg model by chiral spin…

Nearest-neighbor interacting S = 1/2 spins on the ideal Kagom\'{e} lattice are predicted to form a variety of novel quantum entangled states, including quantum spin-liquid (SL) and valence bond solid (VBS) phases. In real materials, the…
We consider some classical and frustrated lattice spin models with global O(3) spin symmetry. There is no general analytical method to find a ground-state if the spin dependence of the Hamiltonian is more than quadratic (i.e. beyond the…

We investigate the phase diagram of hard-core bosons on a square lattice with competing interactions. The hard-core bosons can be represented also by spin-1/2 operators and the model can therefore be mapped onto an anisotropic…
Quantum dimer models typically arise in various low energy theories like those of frustrated antiferromagnets. We introduce a quantum dimer model on the kagome lattice which stabilizes an alternative $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological order, namely…
We systematically investigate the ground-state and the spectral properties of antiferromagnets on a kagom\'{e} lattice with several common types of the planar anisotropy: $XXZ$, single-ion, and out-of-plane Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya. Our main…
We study quantum antiferromagnets on two-dimensional bipartite lattices. We focus on local variations in the properties of the ordered phase which arise due to the presence of inequivalent sites or bonds in the lattice structure, using…
We use exact quantum Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate that the N\'eel ground state of an antiferromagnetic SU(2) spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice can be destroyed by a coupling to quantum phonons. We find a…
