We study the spectrum of $H(m)=\gamma_5 W(-m)$ with $W(m)$ being the Wilson-Dirac operator on the lattice with bare mass equal to $m$. The background gauge fields are generated using the SU(3) Wilson action at $\beta=5.7$ on an $8^3\times…

We consider lattice Hamiltonians that arise from putting Haldane pseudopotentials into a second quantized or "guiding-center-only" form. These are fascinating examples for frustration free lattice Hamiltonians. This is so since even though…
