A conjugate-representation SU(3) model on the honeycomb lattice: exact single-site entropy and the operator structure of the chiral ring exchange

We establish the exact algebraic structure of an SU(3) spin model on the bipartite honeycomb lattice whose two sublattices carry conjugate representations. Requiring that every nearest-neighbor bond be able to form a singlet forces the fundamental representation on one sublattice...
