The Hamiltonian

H = ∑_⟨ij⟩ σ_i·σ_j + J₂ ∑_{⟨⟨ij⟩⟩} σ_i·σ_j

J₁ = 1, J₂ = 0.7, nearest and next-nearest neighbours, written with Pauli matrices.

Stored as a total energy in the convention of VarBench; quoted here as E/N (S.S), which is what the papers report (how the conversion works).

Grouped by what the number is. Ranking happens only inside the first group.

The record is the lowest eligible energy in this group, and only this group.

Exact diagonalization, an exact solution, or sign-problem-free QMC where that is established: the answer, not a claim about it.
