How does the Kalmeyer-Laughlin argument work?

I want to ask about the argument in the Kalmeyer-Laughlin paper that connects the Heisenberg Hamiltonian to a quantum Hall one. I know there is a related question about the same paper. My question is ...

How to get algebraic PSG solutions once we got the constraints?

The question is more technical than conceptual. I've been trying to understand the classification of spin liquids as done by Prof.Wen. I have got the constraints on IGG(Invariant gauge group) elements ...

Ground state degeneracy: Spin vs Fermionic language

Let us first consider the Hamiltonian of well-known 1D periodic Ising model as $$ H = -\frac{1}{2} \sum_{j=1}^N \sigma^x_j \sigma^x_{j+1} + \frac{h}{2}\sum_{j=1}^N \sigma^z_j. $$ Now, in the ...

Chiral spin liquid flux states on the Kagome lattice

Short version: Is it possible to arrange the fluxes for the Kagomé lattice with triangle flux $\phi_\triangle=\frac{\pi}2$ and hexagon flux $\phi_{hex}=0$ using a single unit cell? Longer version: I ...

Do bipartite spin glasses have simple relaxation dynamics?

From what I gather, a Boltzmann machine (BM) is essentially a spin glass with no applied field evolving under Glauber dynamics (if this is at all mistaken, I don't think it will be off enough to ...

Random bond Ising model and computational efficiency

If you want to find the ground state of the 2d random bond Ising model (no field), a computationally efficient algorithm exists to do it for you (based on minimum weight perfect matching). What about ...

Many body quantum states analyzed as probabilistic sequences

Measurements of consecutive sites in a many body qudit system (e.q. a spin chain) can be interpreted as generating a probabilistic sequence of numbers $X_1 X_2 X_3 \ldots$, where $X_i\in \{0,1,\ldots,...

Do any entanglement measures for mixed states exist that use only single site correlation functions?

For a pure state $\rho_{AB}$, the entropy of entanglement of subsystem $A$ is \begin{equation} S( \rho_A) = -tr (\rho_A \log \rho_A) \end{equation} where $\rho_A$ is the reduced density matrix of A. ...

How does one geometrically quantize the Bloch equations?

I've just now rated David Bar Moshe's post (below) as an "answer", for which appreciation and thanks are given. Nonetheless there's more to be said, and in hopes of stimulating further posts,...

Fluctuations of an interface with hammock potential

This question is related to that one. I ask it here since comments are too short for the extended discussion that was going on there. I am interested in a very simple interface model. To each $x\in\...

Phase Transition in the Ising Model with Non-Uniform Magnetic Field

Consider the Ferromagnetic Ising Model ($J>0$) on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with the Hamiltonian with boundary condition $\omega\in\{-1,1\}$ formally given by $$ H^{\omega}_{\Lambda}(\sigma)=-J\sum_{...

Mermin-Wagner theorem in the presence of hard-core interactions

It seems quite common in the theoretical physics literature to see applications of the "Mermin-Wagner theorem" (see wikipedia or scholarpedia for some limited background) to systems with ...
