We suggest a general rule for the shift quantum numbers k of the relative ground states of antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin rings. This rule generalizes the well-known results of Marshall, Peierls, Lieb, Schultz, and Mattis for even rings. Our rule is confirmed by numerical investigations and rigorous proofs for special cases, including systems with a Haldane gap for $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{N}\ensuremath{\infty}.$ Implications for the total spin quantum number S of relative ground states are discussed as well as generalizations to the XXZ model.We suggest a general rule for the shift quantum numbers k of the relative ground states of antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin rings.

Ground-State Phase Diagram of the Two-Dimensional Quantum Heisenberg Mattis Model

Yoshihiko Nonomura

The two-dimensional $S=1/2$ asymmetric Heisenberg Mattis model is investigated with the exact diagonalization of finite clusters. The Néel order parameter and the spin glass order parameter can be smoothly extrapolated to the thermodynamic limit in the antiferromagnetic region, as in the pure Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The critical concentration of the Néel phase is consistent with that of the two-dimensional Ising Mattis model, and the spin glass order parameter increases monotonously as the ferro-bond concentration increases. These facts suggest that quantum fluctuation does not play an essential role in two-dimensional non-frustrated random spin systems.
