Extremal States of Multipartite Quantum Spin Systems
Abstract
We consider two quantum spin models on k-partite graphs. The system is assumed to be invariant under all permutations within any of the k sets. In the limit of infinitely many particles, the Gibbs state is described as a mixture of independent spins due to a version of the Quantum de Finetti theorem. First, we study a spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model and identify its three phases. At low temperature all k sets are magnetised but cancel each other, at medium temperature there is a net magnetic field and at high temperature there is no magnetisation. The magnetisation temperature is a solution to a k-degree polynomial. Second, we allow a general spin s and identify all orthogonally invariant models which have frustration. The criterium for a frustration-free model is that the k-sets can be partitioned into two parts, where the only antiferromagnetic interaction is between the two parts.
