Quantum spin systems at positive temperature
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We develop a novel approach to phase transitions in quantum spin models based on a relation to their classical counterparts. Explicitly, we show that whenever chessboard estimates can be used to prove a phase transition in the classical model, the corresponding quantum model will have a similar phase transition, provided the inverse temperature and the magnitude of the quantum spins satisfy . From the quantum system we require that it is reflection positive and that it has a meaningful classical limit; the core technical estimate may be described as an extension of the Berezin-Lieb inequalities down to the level of matrix elements. The general theory is applied to prove phase transitions in various quantum spin systems with . The most notable examples are the quantum orbital-compass model on and the quantum 120-degree model on which are shown to exhibit symmetry breaking at low-temperatures despite the infinite degeneracy of their (classical) ground state.
This is a nice paper, technically subtle with an intuitive and strong conclusion (if a classical spin model is reflection positive, and has a first-order phase transition -- provable by a chessboard contour estimate -- then so does the quantum model for spin high enough). I was impressed by the results.
