Estimates of the ground-state eigenvalue of the two-dimensional spin- 12 X−Y model
Robert B. Pearson
Abstract
An estimate as well as upper and lower bounds are presented for the ground-state energy density per spin of the two-dimensional spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ $X\ensuremath{-}Y$ model on a square lattice. The energy density is estimated to be ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{0}=\ensuremath{-}1.099\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.004$ and is bounded by $\ensuremath{-}1.12498<~{\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{0}<~\ensuremath{-}1.09440$.
