Abstract

We consider O(n)O(n)-invariant and reflection-positive quantum spin systems on the integer lattice in any dimension, and prove that spin-spin correlations decay exponentially fast provided n is large enough. This answers a question of Ueltschi, who proved that for small n there is instead long-range order (for d at least 3).
