We investigate, using the density-matrix renormalization group, the evolution of the Nagaoka state with ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ hopping that frustrates the hole kinetic energy in the $U=\ensuremath{\infty}$ Hubbard model on the square and anisotropic triangular lattices. We find that the Nagaoka ferromagnet survives up to a rather small ${t}_{c}^{\ensuremath{'}}/t\ensuremath{\sim}0.2.$ At this critical value, there is a transition to an antiferromagnetic phase that depends on the lattice: a $\mathbf{Q}=(Q,0)$ spiral order, which continuously evolves with ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$, for the triangular lattice and the usual $\mathbf{Q}=(\ensuremath{\pi},\ensuremath{\pi})$ N\'eel order for the square lattice. Remarkably, the local magnetization takes its classical value for all considered ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ (${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}/t\ensuremath{\le}1$). Our results show that the recently found classical kinetic antiferromagnetism, a perfect counterpart of Nagaoka ferromagnetism, is a generic phenomenon in these kinetically frustrated electronic systems.We investigate, using the density-matrix renormalization group, the evolution of the Nagaoka state with ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ hopping that frustrates the hole kinetic energy in the $U=\ensuremath{\infty}$ Hubbard model on the square and anisotropic triangular lattices.

We study the $S=1$ square lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet with spatially anisotropic nearest-neighbor couplings ${J}_{1x}$ and ${J}_{1y}$ frustrated by a next-nearest-neighbor coupling ${J}_{2}$ numerically using the density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) method and analytically employing the Schwinger-Boson mean-field theory (SBMFT). Up to relatively strong values of the anisotropy, within both methods we find quantum fluctuations to stabilize the N\'eel-ordered state above the classically stable region. Whereas SBMFT suggests a fluctuation-induced first-order transition between the N\'eel state and a stripe antiferromagnet for $1/3\ensuremath{\le}{J}_{1x}/{J}_{1y}\ensuremath{\le}1$ and an intermediate paramagnetic region opening only for very strong anisotropy, the DMRG results clearly demonstrate that the two magnetically ordered phases are separated by a quantum-disordered region for all values of the anisotropy with the remarkable implication that the quantum paramagnetic phase of the spatially isotropic ${J}_{1}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{2}$ model is continuously connected to the limit of decoupled Haldane spin chains. Our findings indicate that for $S=1$ quantum fluctuations in strongly frustrated antiferromagnets are crucial and not correctly treated on the semiclassical level.We study the $S=1$ square lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet with spatially anisotropic nearest-neighbor couplings ${J}_{1x}$ and ${J}_{1y}$ frustrated by a next-nearest-neighbor coupling ${J}_{2}$ numerically using the density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) method and analytically employing the Schwinger-Boson mean-field theory (SBMFT).
