Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We use the density matrix renormalization group to perform accurate calculations of the ground state of the nearest-neighbor S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice. We study this model on numerous long cylinders with circumferences up to 12 lattice spacings. Our results, through a combination of very low energy and small finite size effects, provide strong evidence that for the infinite two-dimensional system, the ground state of this model is a fully gapped spin liquid.
