Finite- and long-range spin-wave free-energy asymptotics for the two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg ferromagnet

Source abstract

For the two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg ferromagnet with asymptotically radial power-law exchange, we prove the leading low-temperature free energy at every fixed spin, uniformly on the weak-field scale. We obtain fractional and logarithmically corrected laws associated with the dispersions predicted in [16, 17]. Quantum Monte Carlo simulations support the associated anomalous magnon dispersions for spin one-half [20]. For kernels with finite second moment, we also extend the nearest-neighbour theorem [14], generalizing Takahashi's quadratic law [21] and its weak-field dependence [11].
