Projective symmetry of partons in Kitaev's honeycomb model
Paula Mellado, Olga Petrova, Oleg Tchernyshyov
Low-energy states of quantum spin liquids are thought to involve partons living in a gauge-field background. We study the spectrum of Majorana fermions of Kitaev's honeycomb model…

Unpaired Majorana modes on dislocations and string defects in Kitaev's honeycomb model
Olga Petrova, Paula Mellado, Oleg Tchernyshyov
We study the gapped phase of Kitaev's honeycomb model (a spin liquid) on a lattice with topological defects. We find that some dislocations and string defects carry unpaired…
