• Abstract: We study a class of Hamiltonians with a structure that we call "dynamical splitting": the Hamiltonian terms can be divided into two sets acting on the same degrees of freedom such that every term in one set commutes with every term in the other, although terms within either set do not all commute. This structure yields an algebraic duality to effective degrees of freedom on which the two parts of the Hamiltonian act disjointly, enabling exact diagonalization on lattices with approximately twice as many spins as usually accessible. We exploit it in the "chiral XYZ model", a geometrically frustrated spin-$1/2$ model on the triangular lattice which was previously introduced as a special limit of a Majorana-Hubbard model. This model also possesses anticommuting noncontractible line symmetries, which enforce an exact, topology-dependent degeneracy between locally indistinguishable states. We first study a $\mathbb{Z}_N$ clock generalization and find, at large $N$, a gapless ground state with three subsystem-symmetry-protected nodal lines. Exploiting dynamical splitting and the subsystem symmetries, we carry out exact diagonalization of the $N=2$ model on lattices up to $9\times9$ spins. The many-body gap and bipartite entanglement provide strong evidence for a gapless state consistent with the large-$N$ nodal structure: the entanglement scales as $L\log L$ and exhibits $1+1$-dimensional CFT-like chord scaling on cylinders. Finally, we study instabilities and proximate phases. In particular, we find evidence that a subsystem-symmetry-preserving deformation drives a finite coupling transition to a gapped phase with $\mathbb Z_2 \times \mathbb Z_2$ topological order.
