• Abstract summary: We study a spin-orbital model with SU(2)$times$SU(2)$times$U(1) symmetry on the triangular lattice. We find that the two SU(2) symmetries are broken, resulting in a spin-orbital order with the same magnitude $m85$. This suggests that high-symmetry spin-orbital models are promising in searching for exotic states of matter in condensed-matter physics.

• Abstract: By using the tensor-network state algorithm, we study a spin-orbital model with SU(2)$\times$SU(2)$\times$U(1) symmetry on the triangular lattice. This model was proposed to describe some triangular $d^1$ materials and was argued to host a spin-orbital liquid ground state. In our work the trial wavefunction of its ground state is approximated by an infinite projected entangled simplex state and optimized by the imaginary-time evolution. Contrary to the previous conjecture, we find that the two SU(2) symmetries are broken, resulting in a stripe spin-orbital order with the same magnitude $m=0.085(10)$. This value is about half of that in the spin-1/2 triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnet. Our result demonstrates that although the long-sought spin-orbital liquid is absent in this model the spin-orbital order is significantly reduced due to the enhanced quantum fluctuation. This suggests that high-symmetry spin-orbital models are promising in searching for exotic states of matter in condensed-matter physics.

  We capture the physics of a series of spin stripe/2$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet compounds on a square lattice. An intermediate range of $x in [0.08, 0.55]$ is identified for a nonmagnetic phase without the long-range N'eel or stripe order. Deep inside this phase around $x = 0.3$, we observe signatures potentially linked to randomness-induced short-range spin-liquid-like states.

  The XX central spin model is integrable in the presence of a magnetic field oriented to the XY plane in which the coupling exists. In the spin-1/2 case, it was also shown, through an appropriate limit of the non-skew symmetric XXZ Richardson-Gaudin models, that it remained integrable even when the magnetic field is tilted to contain an in-plane component.

  We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.
