TLDR
An action-angle representation of spin variables was used to relate the large-S Heisenberg antiferromagnet to the O(3) nonlinear sigma model quantum field theory, with precise equivalence for integral S as discussed by the authors.

Magnetic properties and energy-mapping analysis

TL;DR: It is shown that the spin orientation of a transition-metal magnetic ion can be easily explained by considering its split d-block levels as unperturbed states with the spin-orbit coupling as perturbation, and that the DM exchange between adjacent spin sites can become comparable in strength to the Heisenberg spin exchange when the two spin sites are not chemically equivalent.

Strong disorder RG approach of random systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the main ingredients of the strong disorder RG method are described, and the basic properties of infinite disorder fixed points, which are realized at critical points, and of strong disorder fixedpoints, which control the singular behaviors in the Griffiths-phases.

Rare region effects at classical, quantum and nonequilibrium phase transitions

Thomas Vojta
- 16 May 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a unified framework for rare region effects at weakly disordered classical, quantum and nonequilibrium phase transitions based on the effective dimensionality of the rare regions is presented.

Topological quantum order: stability under local perturbations

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that for any perturbation V representable as a sum of short-range bounded-norm interactions, the perturbed Hamiltonian H=H0+ϵV has well-defined spectral bands originating from low-lying eigenvalues of H0.

Critical behaviour of spin-s Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chains: analytic and numerical results

TL;DR: In this paper, a general phase diagram for isotropic antiferromagnetic chains has been proposed using conformal field theory, which is further used to predict the spectrum of finite chains, including logarithmic corrections.

Integrable Hamiltonian systems and interactions through quadratic constraints

TL;DR: In this article, the relativistic field theories in one time and one space dimension with interactions that are entirely due to quadratic constraints are shown to be closely related to integrable Hamiltonian systems.

Interaction of Goldstone Particles in Two-Dimensions. Applications to Ferromagnets and Massive Yang-Mills Fields

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that due to interaction the regime of the asymmptotic freedom arises and the continuation to higher dimensions and the applications of the result are briefly discussed.

What is the spin of a spin wave

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the spin of a spin wave in the Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain of spins 1 2 is equal to 1 2 rather than 1 as is generally considered to be true.
