Geometric analysis of frustration in a class of SU(2S+1) invariant quantum spin chains

Jadwin Hall A06 / 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM

Unlike their classical counterparts, quantum antiferromagnetic systems exhibit ground state frustration effects even in one dimension. A case in point is… See Full Abstract

A many-body Fredholm index for ground state spaces and Abelian anyons

Jadwin Hall A06 / 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM

We propose a many-body index that extends Fredholm index theory to many-body systems. The index is defined for any charge-conserving system with a… See Full Abstract
