Title: Colorful points in the XY regime of XXZ quantum magnets
(Submitted on 10 Dec 2020 (v1), last revised 12 Apr 2021 (this version, v2))
Abstract: In the XY regime of the XXZ Heisenberg model phase diagram, we demonstrate that the origin of magnetically ordered phases is influenced by the presence of solvable points with exact quantum coloring ground states featuring a quantum-classical correspondence. Using exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group calculations, for both the square and the triangular lattice magnets, we show that the ordered physics of the solvable points in the extreme XY regime, at $\frac{J_z}{J_\perp}=-1$ and $\frac{J_z}{J_\perp}=-\frac{1}{2}$ respectively with $J_\perp > 0$, adiabatically extends to the more isotropic regime $\frac{J_z}{J_\perp} \sim 1$. We highlight the projective structure of the coloring ground states to compute the correlators in fixed magnetization sectors which enables an understanding of the features in the static spin structure factors and correlation ratios. These findings are contrasted with an anisotropic generalization of the celebrated one-dimensional Majumdar-Ghosh model, which is also found to be (ground state) solvable. For this model, both exact dimer and three-coloring ground states exist at $\frac{J_z}{J_\perp}=-\frac{1}{2}$ but only the two dimer ground states survive for any $\frac{J_z}{J_\perp} > -\frac{1}{2}$.
