Site dilution in Kitaev's honeycomb model

We study the physical consequences of site dilution in Kitaev's honeycomb model, in both its gapped and gapless phases. We show that a vacancy binds a flux of the emergent $Z_2$ gauge field and induces a local moment. In the gapped phase this moment is free while in the gapless phase the suscep...
