Exact lower bounds to the ground-state energy of spin systems: The two-dimensionalS=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model
R. Tarrach, Roser Valent�
Abstract
We present a very simple but fairly unknown method to obtain exact lower bounds to the ground-state energy of any Hamiltonian that can be partitioned into a sum of sub-Hamiltonians. The technique is applied, in particular, to the two-dimensional spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. Reasonably good results are easily obtained and the extension of the method to other systems is straightforward.
