Classical dimers with aligning interactions on the square lattice
Fabien Alet, Yacine Ikhlef, Jesper Lykke Jacobsen +2
We present a detailed study of a model of close-packed dimers on the square lattice with an interaction between nearest-neighbor dimers. The interaction favors parallel alignment o…
Reduced Density Matrices and Topological Order in a Quantum Dimer Model
Shunsuke Furukawa, Gregoire Misguich, Masaki Oshikawa
Resonating valence bond (RVB) liquids in two dimensions are believed to exhibit topological order and to admit no local order parameter of any kind. This is a defining property of…
Unconventional continuous phase transition in a three dimensional dimer model
Fabien Alet, Gregoire Misguich, Vincent Pasquier +2
Phase transitions occupy a central role in physics, due both to their experimental ubiquity and their fundamental conceptual importance. The explanation of universality at phase tr…
