2 The Free Energy of the Quantum Heisenberg Ferromagnet at Large Spin

Michele Correggi, Alessandro Giuliani

We consider the spin-S ferromagnetic Heisenberg model in three dimensions, in the absence of an external field. Spin wave theory suggests that in a suitable temperature regime the system behaves effectively as a system of non-interacting bosons (magnons). We prove this fact at the level of the specific free energy: if S → ∞ and the inverse temperature β → 0 in such a way that βS stays constant, we rigorously show that the free energy per unit volume converges to the one suggested by spin wave theory. The proof is based on the localization of the system in small boxes and on upper and lower bounds on the local free energy, and it also provides explicit error bounds on the remainder. 1

Spin-1/2 One-Dimensional Heisenberg Ferromagnet at Low-Temperature

Minoru Takahashi, Miki Yamada

Using Bethe ansatz integral equations, we calculate the free energy and susceptibility of spin-\(\frac{1}{2}\) one-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnet \(\mathcal{H}{=}J\Sigma(\mbi{S}_{\text{i}}\mbi{S}_{\text{i}+1}-\frac{1}{4})\), ( J <0) at T ≥0.004| J |. We find that the free energy and susceptibility are expanded by \(\sqrt{T/|J|}\) at low temperature: \(f&=|J|\left\{-1.042\left(\frac{T}{|J|}\right)^{3/2}+1.00\left(\frac{T}{|J|}\right)^{2}-0.9\left(\frac{T}{|J|}\right)^{5/2}+O\left(\frac{T}{|J|}\right)^{3}\right\}\\ \chi&=|J|^{-1}\left\{0.1667\left(\frac{|J|}{T}\right)^{2}+0.581\left(\frac{|J|}{T}\right)^{3/2}+0.68\left(\frac{|J|}{T}\right)^{1}+O\left(\frac{|J|}{T}\right)^{1/2}\right\}.\) The first term of free energy coincides with the spin wave calculation. The first term of susceptibility coincides with Fisher's solution of classical Heisenberg Ferromagnet. We conclude α=-0.5 and γ=2.

Asymptotic Ferromagnetic Ordering of Energy Levels for the Heisenberg Model on Large Boxes

Bruno Nachtergaele, Spitzer, Wolfgang, Shannon L. Starr

We prove a result for the spin-$1/2$ quantum Heisenberg ferromagnet on $d$-dimensional boxes $\{1,\dots,L\}^d \subset \mathbb{Z}^d$. For any $n$, if $L$ is large enough, the Hamiltonian satisfies: among all vectors whose total spin is at most $(L^d/2)-n$, the minimum energy is attained by a vector whose total spin is exactly $(L^d/2)-n$.

For any nnn, if LLL is large enough, the Hamiltonian satisfies: among all vectors whose total spin is at most (Ld/2)−n(L^d/2)-n(Ld/2)−n, the minimum energy is attained by a vector whose total spin is exactly (Ld/2)−n(L^d/2)-n(Ld/2)−n.
