For small values of the frustrating coupling $α$, the system is N{\' e}el ordered as usual, while for large $α$ the frustration is found to induce a canted phase. The possibility of an intermediate spin-liquid phase is discussed.11 pages, 9 figuresStrongly Correlated ElectronsStatistical MechanicsThe Union Jack model: a quantum spin model with frustration on the square latticetext
