Large symmetry groups in quantum many-body systems could strongly enhance quantum fluctuations and thereby stabilize exotic quantum phases. Frustrated interactions were long known to have similar effects. Here we intertwine the large
SU(N) symmetry and the frustration in a ${J}_{1}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{J}_{2}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{SU}(N$) Heisenberg model on a honeycomb lattice, where
J1 is the nearest-neighbor coupling and
J2 is the next-nearest-neighbor coupling. With a large-
N analysis, we obtain a rich phase diagram by varying both
N and the ratio
J2/J1. The ground states include Dirac spin liquid, chiral spin liquid, valence cluster solids, flux ordered state, and stripe states. The physical properties of each phase are discussed.
We study the zero-temperature (
T=0) ground-state (GS) properties of a frustrated spin-half
J1XXZ--
J2XXZ model on the honeycomb lattice with nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor interactions with exchange couplings
J1>0 and ${J}_{2}\ensuremath{\equiv}\ensuremath{\kappa}{J}_{1}>0$, respectively, using the coupled cluster method. Both interactions are of the anisotropic XXZ type. We present the
T=0 GS phase diagram of the model in the ranges $0\ensuremath{\le}\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\le}1$ of the spin-space anisotropy parameter and $0\ensuremath{\le}\ensuremath{\kappa}\ensuremath{\le}1$ of the frustration parameter. A possible quantum spin-liquid region is identified.
