We present a numerical study of competing orders in the 1D $t$-$J$ model with long-range RKKY-like staggered spin interactions. By circumventing the constraints imposed by Mermin-Wagner's theorem, this Hamiltonian can realize long-range…
Compact quantum electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions often arises as an effective theory for a Mott insulator, with the Dirac fermions representing the low-energy spinons. An important and controversial issue in this context is whether a…
The low-energy charge excitations of a doped antiferromagnetic ladder are modeled by a system of interacting spinless fermions that live on the same ladder. A relatively large spin gap is assumed to ``freeze out'' all spin fluctuations. We…
