Extended proof of long-range order in the two-dimensional quantum spin-1/2 XXZ-model at T=0

Abstract
We prove the existence of long-range order (LRO) in the ground state of the 2D quantum spin-1/2 XXZ-model for all anisotropies $0 \leq \Delta\ leq 0.22$ and Δ≥1.47. We achieve this extension of previous proofs by developing an improved variant of the Dyson-Lieb-Simon proof of LRO in quantum spin systems and by deriving improved upper and lower bounds for the ground state energy of the XXZ-model.
