Nonsymmorphic spin-space cubic groups and SU(2) conformal invariance in one-dimensional spin-1/2 models

Wang Yang, Alberto Nocera, Chao Xu +1

Recently, extended gapless phases with emergent SU(2) conformal invariance occupying finite regions in the phase diagrams have been found in one-dimensional spin-1/2 models wit…

Counter-rotating spiral, zigzag, and 120 orders from coupled-chain analysis of Kitaev-Gamma-Heisenberg model, and relations to honeycomb iridates

Wang Yang, Alberto Nocera, Chao Xu +2

We study the nearest neighboring spin-1/2 Kitaev-Heisenberg-Gamma () model on the honeycomb lattice in the parameter region of ferromagnetic (FM) Kitaev and antiferromagnetic…

Emergent SU(2) conformal symmetry in the spin-1/2 Kitaev-Gamma chain with a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

Wang Yang, Alberto Nocera, Chao Xu +3

We study the one-dimensional spin-1/2 Kitaev-Gamma model with a bond-dependent Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction, which can be induced by an electric field applied in the thir…

Origin of nonsymmorphic bosonization formulas in generalized antiferromagnetic Kitaev spin- chains from a renormalization-group perspective

Wang Yang, Chao Xu, Alberto Nocera +1

Recently, in the Luttinger liquid phase of the one-dimensional generalized antiferromagnetic Kitaev spin-1/2 model, it has been found that the abelian bosonization formulas of the…

Nonsymmorphic bosonization in one-dimensional generalized Kitaev spin-1/2 models

Wang Yang, Chao Xu, Shenglong Xu +2

In this work, we perform a detailed study on the consequences of nonsymmorphic symmetries in the Luttinger phase of the one-dimensional spin-1/2 Kitaev-Heisenberg-Gamma model with…

From SU(2) to SU(2) Wess-Zumino-Witten transitions in a frustrated spin-5/2 chain

Natalia Chepiga, Ian Affleck, Frédéric Mila

We investigate the properties of a frustrated spin-5/2 chain with next-nearest neighbor two and three-site interactions, with two questions in mind: the nature of the transition in…
