Unveiling the S=3/2 Kitaev honeycomb spin liquids

Recently, material realizations of the spin 3/2 Kitaev honeycomb model have been proposed, but the model has not been solved by either analytical or numerical methods. Here the authors report exact results for the spin 3/2 model consistent with numerical simulations, and find gapped and gapless quan...
