The lack of a mapping to free fermion models has for a long time prevented the analytical characterization of Kitaev spin liquids (KSLs) for general values of S. The most complicated of these spin liquids was the S=3/2 KSL, which defied both analytical and numerical techniques. This problem importance increased thanks to recent studies pointing out the relevance of Kitaev interactions on chromium-based van der Waals magnets.

We recently uncovered the ground state of the S=3/2 KHM perturbed by a single-ion anisotropy (SIA) using an SO(6) parton mean-field theory that displayed a remarkable quantitative agreement with DMRG simulations (Nat. Comm. 13, 3813). In this follow-up work, we uncover similarities between the S=3/2 KSL and the Majorana quantum spin-orbital liquids that emerge as ground states of exactly solvable Kugel-Khomskii models. We show that expectation values of several observables can be exactly calculated over a set of parton wavefunctions without Gutzwiller-projection, including the own KHM, quadrupolar parameters and correlation functions. The S=3/2 KSLs are then identified to the Gutzwiller projection of the state in this set minimizing the energy.
