Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 1881–1884 (2001)Resonating Valence Bond Phase in the Triangular Lattice Quantum Dimer ModelReceived 3 August 2000; published in the issue dated 26 February 2001 We study the quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice, which is expected to describe the singlet dynamics of frustrated Heisenberg models in phases where valence bond configurations dominate their physics. We find, in contrast to the square lattice, that there is a truly short ranged resonating valence bond phase with no gapless excitations and with deconfined, gapped, spinons for a finite range of parameters. We also establish the presence of crystalline dimer phases. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
