uids of spin-1/2 systems protected by space group symmetry, based on the projective symmetry group (PSG)
approach to study the variational ground state wave function obtained from slave-particle construction. The connection between the PSG property of ground states and
the physical quantum number of quasiparticles is not perfectly understood. Moreover, the distinction between
spin liquids protected by spatial symmetry is not robust
against disorder, whereas our study dealing with timereversal symmetry is.
Resonating valence loops (RVL): For simplicity,
we shall consider a spin-1 system on the honeycomb latα
biν , where σ α are
tice first. On each site i, Siα = 12 b†iµ σµν
Pauli matrices and biµ are Schwinger bosons with the
constraint b†i↑ bi↑ + b†i↓ bi↓ = 2. In the spirit of AKLT,
each of two bosons on each site can form a singlet bond
with another boson on its nearest neighbor site - each
spin-1 can participate two singlet bonds. A spin singlet

✎ Resonating AKLT-loop state: a family of states with natural PEPS
representation.
✎ The kagome RAL states have no magnetic order, no dimer crystal
order, or any other symmetry breaking orders, but they are
topologically ordered.
✎ The RAL states serve as variational wavefunctions of the spin-1
KAF.
✎ However, the variational energy is still high, Eg = -1.2696.

Conclusions
• We employ the tensor network algorithm (with/without SU2
symmetry) to perform a variational study of the spin-1 KAF model.
☀1st (?) example that SU2 symmetry pays off in PEPS calculations.
Just in its beginning!
• The ground state has a simplex valence-bond crystal order, with GS
energy determined as Eg ≃ -1.409.
☀ SVBC picture is consistent with experimental
observations: gapped, non-magnetic, &
symmetry breaking low-T phase
