Abstract
The antiferromagnetic saddle point is studied up to one-loop corrections, including, within the same approximation, the constraint of single site occupancy in the fermionization procedure, at all temperatures. The resulting spin wave spectrum and zero point fluctuations are the same as those of the spin wave theory. The effect of the constraint on the temperature dependence of the specific heat is discussed.
