a Vison configuration, {np}. The visons form an empty circular patch surrounded by a disordered background. The inner dashed line corresponds to the saddle point radius ξ* of the effective free energy (3), while the outer dashed line equals the characteristic extent of the spinon wave function, ξ* + ξ0. b Ground state spinon density. The data are taken from the MC simulations at T/ts = 10−3 for a system of size L2 = 202 with periodic boundary conditions.
