Projected BCS states and spin Hamiltonians for the SO(n)_1 Wess-Zumino-Witten model

Abstract

We propose a class of projected BCS wave functions and derive their parent spin Hamiltonians. These wave functions can be formulated as infinite Matrix Product States constructed by chiral correlators of Majorana fermions. In 1D, the spin Hamiltonians can be viewed as SO(n) generalizations of Haldane-Shastry models. We numerically compute the spin-spin correlation functions and Renyi entropies for n=5 and 6. Together with the results for n=3 and 4, we conclude that these states are critical and their low-energy effective theory is the SO(n)_1 Wess-Zumino-Witten model. In 2D, we show that the projected BCS states are chiral spin liquids, which support non-Abelian anyons for odd n and Abelian anyons for even n.
