21. The system is equivalent to an anisotropic antiferromagnet such as GdAlO3. See, e.g., P.M. Chaikin and T.C. Lubensky, Principles of Condensed Matter Physics (Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge, 1995), Chap.

However, the random matrix model does not include the physics of the suppression of the density of states at the Fermi surface leading to λ>0, and thus their phase structure is not obviously related to ours.
