A Line of Critical Points in 2+1 Dimensions: Quantum Critical Loop Gases and Non-Abelian Gauge Theory

AbstractWe (1) construct a one-parameter family of lattice models of interacting spins; (2) obtain their exact ground states; (3) derive a statistical-mechanical analogy which relates their ground states to O(n) loop gases; (4) show that the models are critical for $dleq sqrt{2}$, where $d$ parametrizes the models; (5) note that for the special values $d=2cos(pi/(k+2))$, they are related to doubled level-$k$ SU(2) Chern-Simons theory; (6) conjecture that they are in the universality class of a non-relativistic SU(2) gauge theory; and (7) show that its one-loop $eta$-function vanishes for all values of the coupling constant, implying that it is also on a critical line.
