Abstract

We investigate T=0 properties of the commensurate flux phases, a class of variational wave functions for the t-J model proposed recently by Anderson, Shastry, and Hristopoulos and which generalize the (1/2-flux state of Affleck and Marston away from half-filling. These states can be formally written in the quantum spin liquid form, the singlet bond amplitudes of which break the lattice translational symmetry. The supercell of the electromagnetic gauge (defining the fictitious flux) imposes the actual periodicities of the correlated wave function. Their order of commensurability with the lattice unit length is closely related to the hole density.
