Spontaneous magnetization of the three-dimensional quantum Heisenberg ferromagnet at low temperature (Lieb's Problem A)
Theorem 1.1: for every d≥3 and S∈{1/2,1,3/2,…} there is β0(d,S) such that for every β≥β0 the zero-field nearest-neighbour dynamics has a translation-invariant β-KMS state with ω(S0z)≥S/4. The proof uses an exchange-cycle (random interchange) representation with boundary pins, stable-polynomial negative dependence and a determinant identity for conditioned walks. Not shown: long-range order in the finite-volume two-point formulation, the critical temperature, or anything in d≤2. The companion manuscripts in the family prove Bloch's law and the spherical magnetization law in d=3.
