Klein spin model ground states on general lattices

Abstract

We prove that in short range Klein spin models on general lattices, all ground states are of the dimer type- each fundamental plaquette must host at least one singlet. These ground states are known to rigorously exhibit high dimensional fractionalization. When combined with a recent theorem, this establishes that Klein spin models exhibit topological order on the pyrochlore and checkerboard lattices.
