Gapped spin liquid with Z[subscript 2] topological order for the kagome Heisenberg model

We apply the symmetric tensor network state (TNS) to study the nearest-neighbor spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the kagome lattice. Our method keeps track of the global and gauge symmetries in the TNS update procedure and in tensor renormalization group (TRG) calculations. We also int...
