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.

Spontaneous trimerization of spin-1 chains

TL;DR: In this paper, a spin-wave theory based on a simple trimer VB state is developed and applied to the model, and a selfconsistent picture is obtained: the system is trimerized for an extended region of couplings, with a non-zero energy gap that collapses at both ends of the region.

Spectroscopic Studies on the Metal-Insulator Transition Mechanism in Correlated Materials.

TL;DR: An overview of recent efforts to unravel the microscopic mechanisms for various types of MITs in correlated materials is provided, and a new class of MIT materials is discovered, the so-called relativistic Mott insulators in 5d TMOs.

Is the phase transition in the Heisenberg model described by the $(2+\epsilon)$-expansion of the nonlinear $\sigma$-model?

TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of the non-linear π-model with respect to gradient operators is discussed. But the authors do not consider the effect of the degree of the spin.

Reversible and Topotactic Solvent Removal in a Magnetic Ni(NCS)2 Coordination Polymer.

TL;DR: Single crystal X-ray investigations reveal that the solvent removal leads to a change in symmetry from primitive to C-centered, which is reversible and which proceeds via a topotactic reaction leaving the network intact.

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.
