Splitting of the ground state manifold of classical Heisenberg spins as couplings are varied

Samarth Chandra

We construct clusters of classical Heisenberg spins with two-spin -type interactions for which the ground state manifold consists of disconnected pieces. We ex…

Classical Heisenberg spins on a hexagonal lattice with Kitaev couplings

Samarth Chandra, Kabir Ramola, Deepak Dhar

We analyse the low temperature properties of a system of classical Heisenberg spins on a hexagonal lattice with Kitaev couplings. For a lattice of 2N sites with periodic boundary c…

Pattern formation in growing sandpiles

Deepak Dhar, Tridib Sadhu, Samarth Chandra

Adding grains at a single site on a flat substrate in the Abelian sandpile models produce beautiful complex patterns. We study in detail the pattern produced by adding grains on a…

Exact entropy of dimer coverings for a class of lattices in three or more dimensions

Deepak Dhar, Samarth Chandra

We construct a class of lattices in three and higher dimensions for which the number of dimer coverings can be determined exactly using elementary arguments. These lattices are a g…

Dependence of ground state energy of classical n-vector spins on n

Samarth Chandra

We study the ground state energy E_G(n) of N classical n-vector spins with the hamiltonian H = - \sum_{i>j} J_ij S_i.S_j where S_i and S_j are n-vectors and the coupling constants…
