Also, we investigate the nature of t-J model using exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group methods. Persistent spin currents are revealed in the ground states, which are concomitant with a nonzero total momentum or angular momentum associated with the doped hole. The latter determines a nontrivial ground state degeneracy, which also leads to a possible dual picture of various kinds of symmetry breaking orders observed in experiments. 1080 Physics Research Building - Smith Seminar Room Department of Physics physics@osu.edu America/New_York public
