Time-reversal invariant U(1) spin liquids in three dimensions

ORAL

Abstract

We study possible quantum U(1) spin liquids in three dimensions with time-reversal symmetry. We find there are in total eight such states, distinguished by the properties of their emergent electric/magnetic charges. Various aspects of these states will be discussed, including their spin wave-functions and relevance to pyrochlore spin ices.
