In frustrated antiferromagnets with isotropic exchange interactions, there is typically a manifold of degenerate classical ground states. This degeneracy is broken by the (free) energy of quantum or thermal fluctuations, or the uniform…

We propose that the valence bonds forming the ground state of the 2D-AF Heisenberg model on a square lattice may rotate under the effect of the antiferromagnetic background. To test this idea we apply a real space renormalization group…
We formulate a stochastic generalisation of the Schwinger effect, extending pair production to statistically fluctuating gauge-field backgrounds. Our approach captures realistic field configurations that are transient, inhomogeneous, and…
Finding the ground state energy of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian is an important problem in the field of condensed matter physics. In some configurations, such as the antiferromagnetic translationally-invariant case on the 2D square lattice,…
