Topological nematic spin liquid on the square kagome lattice

The ground state of the spin-1/2 kagome antiferromagnet remains uncertain despite decades of active research. Here we step aside from this debated question to address the ground-state nature of a related, and potentially just as rich, system made of corner-sharing triangles: the square kagome lattic...
