I think despite the lack of specificity in the statement (1), OP is interested in the presence or absence of magnetic LRO. | |
| Aug 16, 2020 at 3:37 | comment | added | mr.no | @Ruben Verresen Sure you can construct such states. But naively I think this kind of state can not be low energy states of a physically relevant Hamiltonian (especially short-range interacting models). Moreover, my question is more about whether the QSL itself can have long-range order rather than a QSL weakly coupled with a different symmetry breaking state. | |
