Chiral bosonic mean-field Ansatz and spin dynamics in spin-1 Kitaev magnets
The Kitaev model is a paradigmatic system for realizing quantum spin liquids, but its higher-spin extensions are not exactly solvable, and their spin dynamics is less well understood than in the spin-1/2 case. In this work, we reexamine a previously introduced triplet-pairing $\phi_t = \pi/2$ phase pattern for the anti...
