Abstract
We study the two-leg Heisenberg ladder with four-spin cyclic interaction using the (dynamical) density-matrix renormalization-group method. We demonstrate the dependence of the low-lying excitations in the spin wave, staggered dimer order, and scalar-chirality order structure factors on the four-spin cyclic interaction. We find that the cyclic interaction enhances spin-spin correlations with wave vector around momentum $({q}_{x},{q}_{y})=(\frac{\ensuremath{\pi}}{2},0)$. Also, the presence of long-range order in the staggered dimer and scalar-chirality phases is confirmed by a $\ensuremath{\delta}$-function peak contribution of the structure factors at energy $\ensuremath{\omega}=0$.
