Abstract: We study a class of quantum spin systems in the mean-field setting of the complete graph. For spin S=frac12 the model is the Heisenberg ferromagnet, for general spin Sinfrac12mathbbN it has a probabilistic representation as a cycle-weighted interchange process. We determine the free energy and the critical temperature (recovering results by T'oth and by Penrose when S=frac12). The critical temperature is shown to coincide (as a function of S) with that of the q=2S+1 state classical Potts model, and the phase transition is discontinuous when Sgeq1.
