We show that a wide class of spin chains with topological frustration cannot develop any local order. In particular, we consider translational-invariant one-dimensional chains with frustrated boundary conditions, i.e. periodic boundary conditions and an odd number of sites, which possess a global SU(2) symmetry. This condition implies, even at a finite sizes, an exact degeneracy of the ground state and is quite general in absence of external fields. We directly evaluate the expectation value of operators with support over a finite range of lattice sites and show that, except for some precise conditions, they all decay algebraically, or faster, with the chain length and vanish in the thermodynamic limit. The exceptions that admit a finite order are cases with a higher ground state degeneracy in which the translational symmetry is broken by the ground state choice.
The false vacuum decay has been a central theme in physics for half a century with applications to cosmology and to the theory of fundamental interactions. This fascinating phenomenon is even more intriguing when combined with the confinement of elem
We study the time evolution of bi- and tripartite operator mutual information of the time-evolution operator and Paulis spin operators in the one-dimensional Ising model with magnetic field and the disordered Heisenberg model. In the Ising model, the
A central tenant in the classification of phases is that boundary conditions cannot affect the bulk properties of a system. In this work, we show striking, yet puzzling, evidence of a clear violation of this assumption. We use the prototypical exampl
By means of a numerical analysis using a non-Abelian symmetry realization of the density matrix renormalization group, we study the behavior of vector chirality correlations in isotropic frustrated chains of spin S=1 and S=1/2, subject to a strong ex
We derive the dominant contribution to the large-distance decay of correlation functions for a spin chain model that exhibits both Haldane and Neel phases in its ground state phase diagram. The analytic results are obtained by means of an approximate
