Superconductivity and the Quantum Hard-Core Dimer Gas
Abstract
We discuss the short-range resonating-valence-bond system as realized by a quantum hard-core dimer gas of arbitrary density on a two-dimensional square lattice. When the dimers completely cover the lattice, we argue that there is a first-order transition from a dimer crystal to an insulating quantum liquid state which possesses low-energy, neutral, spinless excitations which we call "resonons." For less than close-packed densities, the ground state is a superfluid. In addition to the usual Goldstone mode, there are low-energy, spinless zone-boundary excitations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
