We present an antiferromagnetic quantum spin-1/2 model on honeycomb lattice. It has two parts, one of which is the usual nearest-neighbor Heisenberg model. The other part is a certain multiple spin interaction term, introduced by us, which is exactly solvable for the ground state. Without the Heisenberg part, the model has an exact threefold degenerate dimer ground state. This exact ground state is also noted to exist for the general spin-$S$ case. For the spin-1/2 case, we further carry out…

The mean-field triplon analysis is developed for spin-$S$ quantum antiferromagnets with dimerized ground states. For the spin-1/2 case, it reduces to the well-known bond-operator mean-field theory.
