Large-$S$ and large-$N$ theories (spin value $S$ and spinor component number $N$) are complementary, and sometimes conflicting, approaches to quantum magnetism. While large-$S$ spin-wave theory captures the correct semiclassical behavior, large-$N$ theories, on the other hand, emphasize the quantumness of spin fluctuations. In order to evaluate the possibility of the non-trivial recovery of the semiclassical magnetic excitations within a large-$N$ approach, we compute the large-$S$ limit of the dynamic spin structure of the triangular lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet within a Schwinger boson spin representation. We demonstrate that, only after the incorporation of Gaussian ($1/N$) corrections to the saddle-point ($N=infty$) approximation, we are able to exactly reproduce the linear spin wave theory results in the large-$S$ limit. The key observation is that the effect of $1/N$ corrections is to cancel out exactly the main contribution of the saddle-point solution; while the collective modes (magnons) consist of two spinon bound states arising from the poles of the RPA propagator. This result implies that it is essential to consider the interaction of the spinons with the emergent gauge fields and that the magnon dispersion relation should not be identified with that of the saddle-point spinons.

We describe the large $N$ saddle point, and the structure of fluctuations about the saddle point, of a theory containing a sharp, critical Fermi surface in two spatial dimensions. The theory describes the onset of Ising order in a Fermi liquid, and c
losely related theories apply to other cases with critical Fermi surfaces. We employ random couplings in flavor space between the fermions and the bosonic order parameter, but there is no spatial randomness: consequently, the $G$-$Sigma$ path integral of the theory is expressed in terms of fields bilocal in spacetime. The critical exponents of the large $N$ saddle-point are the same as in the well-studied non-random RPA theory; in particular, the entropy density vanishes in the limit of zero temperature. We present a full numerical solution of the large $N$ saddle-point equations, and the results agree with the critical behavior obtained analytically. Following analyses of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models, we describe scaling operators which descend from fermion bilinears around the Fermi surface. This leads to a systematic consideration of the role of time reparameterization symmetry, and the scaling of the Cooper pairing and $2k_F$ operators which can determine associated instabilities of the critical Fermi surface. We find no violations of scaling from time reparameterizations. We also consider the same model but with spatially random couplings: this provides a systematic large $N$ theory of a marginal Fermi liquid with Planckian transport.
The analysis of the large-$N$ limit of $U(N)$ Yang-Mills theory on a surface proceeds in two stages: the analysis of the Wilson loop functional for a simple closed curve and the reduction of more general loops to a simple closed curve. In the case of
the 2-sphere, the first stage has been treated rigorously in recent work of Dahlqvist and Norris, which shows that the large-$N$ limit of the Wilson loop functional for a simple closed curve in $S^{2}$ exists and that the associated variance goes to zero. We give a rigorous treatment of the second stage of analysis in the case of the 2-sphere. Dahlqvist and Norris independently performed such an analysis, using a similar but not identical method. Specifically, we establish the existence of the limit and the vanishing of the variance for arbitrary loops with (a finite number of) simple crossings. The proof is based on the Makeenko-Migdal equation for the Yang-Mills measure on surfaces, as established rigorously by Driver, Gabriel, Hall, and Kemp, together with an explicit procedure for reducing a general loop in $S^{2}$ to a simple closed curve. The methods used here also give a new proof of these results in the plane case, as a variant of the methods used by L{e}vy. We also consider loops on an arbitrary surface $Sigma$. We put forth two natural conjectures about the behavior of Wilson loop functionals for topologically trivial simple closed curves in $Sigma.$ Under the weaker of the conjectures, we establish the existence of the limit and the vanishing of the variance for topologically trivial loops with simple crossings that satisfy a smallness assumption. Under the stronger of the conjectures, we establish the same result without the smallness assumption.
We compute the entanglement entropy of the Wilson-Fisher conformal field theory (CFT) in 2+1 dimensions with O($N$) symmetry in the limit of large $N$ for general entanglement geometries. We show that the leading large $N$ result can be obtained from
the entanglement entropy of $N$ Gaussian scalar fields with their mass determined by the geometry. For a few geometries, the universal part of the entanglement entropy of the Wilson-Fisher CFT equals that of a CFT of $N$ massless scalar fields. However, in most cases, these CFTs have a distinct universal entanglement entropy even at $N=infty$. Notably, for a semi-infinite cylindrical region it scales as $N^0$, in stark contrast to the $N$-linear result of the Gaussian fixed point.
In frustrated magnetism, making a stringent connection between microscopic spin models and macroscopic properties of spin liquids remains an important challenge. A recent step towards this goal has been the development of the pseudofermion functional
renormalization group approach (pf-FRG) which, building on a fermionic parton construction, enables the numerical detection of the onset of spin liquid states as temperature is lowered. In this work, focusing on the SU(N) Heisenberg model at large N, we extend this approach in a way that allows us to directly enter the low-temperature spin liquid phase, and to probe its character. Our approach proceeds in momentum space, making it possible to keep the truncation minimalistic, while also avoiding the bias introduced by an explicit decoupling of the fermionic parton interactions into a given channel. We benchmark our findings against exact mean-field results in the large-N limit, and show that even without prior knowledge the pf-FRG approach identifies the correct mean-field decoupling channel. On a technical level, we introduce an alternative finite temperature regularization scheme that is necessitated to access the spin liquid ordered phase. In a companion paper arXiv:1711.02182 we present a different set of modifications of the pf-FRG scheme that allow us to study SU(N) Heisenberg models (using a real-space RG approach) for arbitrary values of N, albeit only up to the phase transition towards spin liquid physics.
The crystal structure and magnetic correlations in triangular antiferromagnet FeGa$_2$S$_4$ are studied by x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, neutron diffraction and neutron inelastic scattering. We report significant mixing at the cation si
tes and disentangle magnetic properties dominated by major and minor magnetic sites. The magnetic short-range correlations at 0.77 AA$^{-1}$ correspond to the major sites and being static at base temperature they evolve into dynamic correlations around 30 - 50 K. The minor sites contribute to the magnetic peak at 0.6 AA$^{-1}$, which vanishes at 5.5 K. Our analytical studies of triangular lattice models with bilinear and biquadratic terms provide the ratios between exchanges for the proposed ordering vectors. The modelling of the inelastic neutron spectrum within linear spin wave theory results in the set of exchange couplings $J_1=1.7$,meV, $J_2=0.9$,meV, $J_3=0.8$,meV for the bilinear Heisenberg Hamiltonian. However, not all features of the excitation spectrum are explained with this model.
