Phase transitions to absorbing states are among the simplest examples of critical phenomena out of equilibrium. The characteristic feature of these models is the presence of a fluctuationless configuration which the dynamics cannot leave,…

In this paper, we study the ground state of a one-dimensional exactly solvable model with a spiral order. While the model's energy spectra is the same as the one-dimensional transverse field Ising model, its ground state manifests spiral…
