Abstract: (APS)
We introduce an -symmetric disordered bipartite spin model with unusual characteristics. Although superficially similar to the Sachdev-Ye (SY) model, it has several markedly different properties for . In particular, it has a large nontrivial nullspace whose dimension grows exponentially with system size. The states in this nullspace are frustration-free and are ground states when the interactions are ferromagnetic. The exponential growth of the nullspace leads to Hilbert-space fragmentation and a violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. We demonstrate that the commutant algebra responsible for this fragmentation is a nontrivial subalgebra of the Read-Saleur commutant algebra of certain nearest-neighbor models such as the spin-1 biquadratic spin chain. We also discuss the low-energy behavior of correlations for the disordered version of this model in the limit of a large number of spins and large , using techniques similar to those applied to the SY model. We conclude by generalizing the Shiraishi-Mori embedding formalism to nonlocal models, and apply it to turn some of our nullspace states into quantum many-body scars.Note:
