We consider the spherical model on a spider-web graph. This graph is effectively infinite-dimensional, similar to the Bethe lattice, but has loops. We show that these lead to non-trivial corrections to the simple mean-field behavior. We…

The $S=1/2$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on multi-leg ladders is investigated. Criticality of the ground-state transition is explored by means of finite-size scaling. The ladders with an even number of legs and those with an odd…
In gapped spin ladder and spin-Peierls systems the introduction of disorder, for example by doping, leads to the appearance of low energy midgap states. The fact that these strongly correlated systems can be mapped onto one dimensional…
We map spin ladders with $n_l$ legs and couplings $J'$ across all rungs and $J(1 \pm \gamma)$ along the legs, staggered in both directions, to a sigma model. Setting its $\theta = (2m+1)\pi$ (where it is known to be gapless), we locate the…
We study for random quantum spin systems the energy gap between the ground and first excited states to clarify a relation to the spin-glass-paramagnetic phase transition. We find that for the transverse Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model the…
