Quantum trimer models and topological SU(3) spin liquids on the kagome lattice

We construct and study quantum trimer models and resonating SU(3)-singlet models on the kagome lattice, which generalize quantum dimer models and the resonating valence bond wave functions to a trimer and SU(3) setting. We demonstrate that these models carry a Z_{3} symmetry which originates in the...
