Abstract
We study the discrete-to-continuum variational limit of the J1-J3 spin model on the square lattice in the vicinity of the ferromagnet/helimagnet transition point as the lattice spacing vanishes. Carrying out the Γ-convergence analysis of proper scalings of the energy, we prove the emergence and characterize the geometric rigidity of the chirality phase transitions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
