Variational analysis of the $J_1$-$J_2$-$J_3$ model: a non-linear lattice version of the Aviles-Giga functional

We study the variational limit of the frustrated $J_1$-$J_2$-$J_3$ spin model on the square lattice in the vicinity of the ferromagnet/helimagnet transition point as the lattice spacing vanishes. We carry out the $\Gamma$-convergence analysis of proper scalings of the energy and we characterize the optimal cost of a chirality transition in $BV$ proving that the system is asymptotically driven by a discrete version of a non-linear perturbation of the Aviles-Giga energy functional.

Variational analysis of a two-dimensional frustrated spin system: emergence and rigidity of chirality transitions

We study the discrete-to-continuum variational limit of the $J_{1}$-$J_{3}$ spin model on the square lattice in the vicinity of the helimagnet/ferromagnet transition point as the lattice spacing vanishes. Carrying out the $\Gamma$-convergence analysis of proper scalings of the energy, we prove the emergence and characterize the geometric rigidity of the chirality phase transitions.
