Dimerized antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 ladders are known to exhibit a quantum critical phase transition in the ground state, the existence or absence of which is dependent on the dimerization pattern of the ladder. The gapped phases cannot be…

Spin ladders are key models that act as intermediaries between one-dimensional and two-dimensional spin systems. In this study, we examine a coupled spin-$1/2$ ladder, where frustrated ladders with leg, rung, and diagonal interactions are…
We present rigorous and universal results for the ground states of the $f=2$ spinor Bose-Hubbard model. The model includes three two-body on site interaction terms, two of which are spin dependent while the other one is spin independent. We…
