Today's #arXivsummary: https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.11010 by Mirmojarabian et. al. Authors map the ground state phase diagram of the isotropic Kekulé-Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice with Heisenberg exchange couplings. Two plaquette valance bond solid phases with vanishing magnetic order found, in addition to quantum spin liquid and conventional magnetically ordered phases. #CondMat #arXiv_2308_11010
