Abstract: We consider continuous-spin models on the $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattice with the spins $sigm{a}_x$ emph{a priori} uniformly distributed over the unit sphere in $R^n$ (with $nge2$) and the interaction energy having two parts: a short-range part, represented by a potential $Phi$, and a long-range antiferromagnetic part $lambda|x-y{|}^{-s}sigm{a}_{x}cdotsigm{a}_y$ for some exponent $s>d$ and $lambdage0$. We assume that $Phi$ is twice continuously differentiable, finite range and invariant under rigid rotations of all spins. For $dge1$, $sin(d,d+2]$ and any $lambda>0$, we then show that the expectation of each $sigm{a}_x$ vanishes in all translation-invariant Gibbs states. In particular, the spontaneous magnetization is zero and block-spin averages vanish in all (translation invariant or not) Gibbs states. This contrasts the situation of $lambda=0$ where the ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor systems in $dge3$ exhibit strong magnetic order at sufficiently low temperatures. Our theorem extends an earlier result of A. van Enter ruling out magnetized states with uniformly positive two-point correlation functions.
