Abstract
We apply the method of infrared bounds with the technique of Kennedy, Lieb and Shastry to the isotropic spin-1 Hamiltonian with bilinear (- J ) and biquadratic (- J ') exchange interactions to examine the existence of antiferro-dipole long-range order (DLRO) and ferro-quadrupole long-range order (QLRO). We prove that DLRO exists at zero temperature in two and three dimensions for 0⩽ J '<-0.188 J and 0⩽ J '<-1.954 J , respectively. In three dimensions we also prove the existence of QLRO in the ground state for 0<2 J ⩽ J '<2.664 J .
