Existence of Néel Order in Some Spin-1/2 Heisenberg Antiferromagnets

  • Chapter
Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

The methods of Dyson, Lieb, and Simon are extended to prove the existence of Néel order in the ground state of the 3D spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the cubic lattice. We also consider the spin-1/2 antiferromagnet on the cubic lattice with the coupling in one of the three lattice directions taken to be r times its value in the other two lattice directions. We prove the existence of Néel order for 0.16 ⩽ r ⩽ 1. For the 2D spin-1/2 model we give a series of inequalities which involve the two-point function only at short distances and each of which would by itself imply Néel order.
