Reply to Professor Leroyer's comment concerning the article "Analytical solution of the 2D classical Heisenberg model"

Abstract

In his comment Professor Leroyer notes that the expression of the zero-field partition function Z N (0) is not proved. In the lines below we briefly explain how to derive it from eq. (3) of my preceding article [ Europhys. Lett. , 32 (1995) 529].

Reply to “Comment on ‘Role of potentials in the Aharonov-Bohm effect’ ”

Lev Vaidman A

The preceding Comment challenged my claim that potentials might be just auxiliary mathematical tools and that they are not necessary for explaining physical phenomena. The Comment did not confront my explanation without the potentials of the Aharonov-Bohm effects that appeared in the original article, but stated that I cannot apply this explanation for seven other examples. In my reply, using my method, I provide explanations of one of the examples, show that two other examples are not relevant, and agree that the remaining examples require further analysis. However, I argue that none of the examples provides robust counterexamples to my claim, similar to the original Aharonov-Bohm setups which were explained in my article, so the Comment does not refute my claim.

Analytical Solution of the 2 d Classical Heisenberg Model

Jacques Curély

For the first time we exactly establish the term of higher degree in the polynomial expansion of the zero-field partition function. In the infinite-layer limit, we derive analytical expressions for the spin-spin correlations, the susceptibility and the specific heat, and we examine their respective behaviours near the critical temperature T c = 0 K. We calculate the analytical values of critical exponents α, γ, η and ν.

Study of the magnetic properties of two-dimensional (2D) classical square heisenberg antiferromagnets II- spin correlations and susceptibility

Jacques Curély

In this part labelled II we examine the spin correlations and the susceptibility. We use a similar method which has allowed to derive a closed-form expression of the zero-field partition function ZN(0), for 2D square lattices composed of (2N+1)2classical spins isotropically coupled [1]. We rigorously show that the spin correlation vanishes in the zero-field limit, except at T=0 K. Thus, the critical temperature is TC=0 K, in agreement with Mermin-Wagner's theorem. For calculating the spin-spin correlation, we show that it is necessary to distinguish a correlation domain in which the correlation path is confined and a wing domain (Theorem 1). In the thermodynamic limit (N→+∞), we give a general closed-form expression for the spin-spin correlation between any two lattice sites. We prove that all the possible paths have the same analytic expression and correspond to the shortest ones in agreement with the classical principle of least action and its quantum version (Theorem 2). As a result and for the first time, we derive the closed-form expression for the susceptibility, without any approximation. We finally test previous experimental fits and we show that the use of a truncated expansion for the susceptibility was totally justified.
