13. A similar model with a ring-exchange term on the Kagome lattice in the Ising-axis limit has been predicted to exhibit a nontrivial quantum phase transition from a magnetically ordered to a spin-liquid phase.

15. From recent numerical calculations, it seems that, from the disordered region, the dimer order parameter vanishes at the transition point, while, from the ordered phase, the spin stiffness shows a small jump. R. Melko and A. W. Sandvik (private communication).
