On the Ground State of Ferromagnetic Hamiltonians

Mathematical Physics 2007-05-23 v1 math.MP

Abstract

It is generally believed that the ground state of the ferromagnetic Heisenberg-Dirac-Van Vleck Hamiltonians acting on s=1/2 spins of a lattice with N sites has the maximal possible value of the total spin S=N/2 and is N+1 times degenerate. We present a rigorous proof of this statement, independent of the lattice dimension and topology.
