Hexagon-singlet solid ansatz for the spin-1 kagome antiferromagnet

Wei Li, Andreas Weichselbaum, Jan von Delft +1 more

We perform a systematic investigation on the hexagon-singlet solid (HSS) states, which are a class of spin liquid candidates for the spin-1 kagome antiferromagnet. With the Schwinger boson representation, we show that all HSS states have exponentially decaying correlations and can be interpreted as a (special) subset of the resonating Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) loop states. We provide a compact tensor network representation of the HSS states, with which we are able to calculate physical observables efficiently. We find that the HSS states have vanishing topological entanglement entropy, suggesting the absence of intrinsic topological order. We also employ the HSS states to perform a variational study of the spin-1 kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnetic model. When we use a restricted HSS ansatz preserving lattice symmetry, the best variational energy per site is found to be ${e}_{0}=\ensuremath{-}1.3600$. In contrast, when allowing lattice symmetry breaking, we find a trimerized simplex valence-bond crystal with a lower energy, ${e}_{0}=\ensuremath{-}1.3871$.

Spectral gaps of Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki Hamiltonians using tensor network methods

Artur García-Sáez, V. Murg, Tzu-Chieh Wei

Using exact diagonalization and tensor network techniques, we compute the gap for the Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) Hamiltonian in one and two spatial dimensions. Tensor network methods are used to extract physical properties directly in the thermodynamic limit, and we support these results using finite-size scalings from exact diagonalization. Studying the AKLT Hamiltonian perturbed by an external field, we show how to obtain an accurate value of the gap of the original AKLT Hamiltonian from the field value at which the ground state verifies ${e}_{0}<0$, which is a quantum critical point. With the tensor network renormalization group methods we provide direct evidence of a finite gap in the thermodynamic limit for the AKLT models in the one-dimensional chain and two-dimensional hexagonal and square lattices. This method can be applied generally to Hamiltonians with rotational symmetry, and we also show results beyond the AKLT model.
