Spin liquid phase for the frustrated Quantum Heisenberg Antiferromagnet on a square lattice
The existance of a spin disordered ground state for the frustrated Quantum
Heisenberg Antiferromagnet on a square lattice is reconsidered. It is argued
that there is a unique action which is continuous through the whole phase
diagram, except at the Lifshitz point, so that the Neel and helicoidal states
can not coexist and there has to be an intermediate spin liquid state. To show
it, a detailed study combining Spin-Wave theory, Schwinger Bosons Mean Field
Theory and a scaling analysis of the appropriate hydrodynamic action is
performed. When done carefully, all these theories agree and strongly support
the existance of the spin liquThe manuscript has eight figures, which are
