We describe a coupled-chain construction for chiral spin liquids in two-dimensional spin systems. Starting from a one-dimensional zigzag spin chain and imposing SU(2) symmetry in the framework of non-Abelian bosonization, we first show that…

We derive an effective $Z_2$ gauge theory to describe the quantum kagome ice (QKI) state that has been observed by Carrasquilla $\textit{et. al.}$ in Monte Carlo studies of the $S = 1/2$ kagome XYZ model in a Zeeman field. The numerical…
