Demonstrating the AKLT spectral gap on 2D degree-3 lattices
Nicholas Pomata, Tzu-Chieh Wei
We establish that the spin-3/2 AKLT model on the honeycomb has a nonzero spectral gap. We use the relation between the anticommutator of two projectors and their sum, and apply it…

AKLT models on decorated square lattices are gapped
Nicholas Pomata, Tzu-Chieh Wei
The nonzero spectral gap of the original two-dimensional Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) models has remained unproven for more than three decades. Recently, Abdul-Rahman et al.…
