Resonating valence bond realization of spin-1 non-Abelian chiral spin liquid on the torus

2021 
We propose resonating valence bond wave functions for a spin-1 system on the torus that realize a non-Abelian chiral spin liquid. The wave functions take the form of infinite-dimensional matrix product states constructed from conformal blocks of the $\mathrm{SO}{(3)}_{1}$ Wess-Zumino-Witten model. This means that they are lattice analogs of the bosonic Moore-Read state introduced in fractional quantum Hall systems. The topological order of this system is revealed by explicit construction of threefold-degenerate ground states and analytical computation of the modular $S$ and $T$ matrices.
