Abstract

We study a quantum antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a hypercubic lattice in three or higher dimensions d3d\ge 3. When a phase transition occurs with the continuous symmetry breaking, the nonvanishing spontaneous magnetization which is obtained by applying the infinitesimally weak symmetry breaking field is equal to the maximum spontaneous magnetization at zero or non-zero low temperatures. In addition, the transverse correlation in the infinite-volume limit exhibits a Nambu-Goldstone-type slow decay. In this paper, we assume that the transverse correlation decays by power law with distance. Under this assumption, we prove that the power is equal to 2d2-d at non-zero low temperatures, while it is equal to 1d1-d at zero temperature. The method is applied also to a quantum XY model and a classical Heisenberg model at non-zero low temperatures in three or higher dimensions. The resulting power is given by the same 2d2-d at non-zero low temperatures.
