Gauge field dynamics in multilayer Kitaev spin liquids
Abstract The Kitaev spin liquid realizes an emergent static $${{\mathbb{Z}}}_{2}$$ Z 2 gauge field with vison excitations coupled to Majorana fermions. We consider Kitaev models stacked on top of each other, weakly coupled by Heisenberg interaction ∝ J ⊥. This inter-layer coupling breaks the integra...
