SU(2) slave fermion solution of the Kitaev honeycomb lattice model
We apply the SU(2) slave fermion formalism to the Kitaev honeycomb lattice model. We show that both the toric code phase (the A phase) and the gapless phase of this model (the B phase) can be identified with p-wave superconducting phases of the slave fermions, with nodal lines which, respectively, d...
