Laughlin Spin-Liquid States on Lattices Obtained from Conformal Field Theory

We propose a set of spin system wave functions that is very similar to lattice versions of the Laughlin states. The wave functions are conformal blocks of conformal field theories and for a filling factor of nu = 1/2 we provide a parent Hamiltonian, which is valid for any even number of spins and is at the same time a 2D generalization of the Haldane-Shastry model. We also demonstrate that the Kalmeyer-Laughlin state is reproduced as a particular case of this model. Finally, we discuss various properties of the spin states and point out several analogies to known results for the Laughlin states.
