We apply the theory of ground states for classical, finite, Heisenberg spin systems previously published to a couple of spin systems that can be considered as finite models $K_{12},\,K_{15}$ and $K_{18}$ of the AF Kagome lattice. The model…
We formulate part V of a rigorous theory of ground states for classical, finite, Heisenberg spin systems. After recapitulating the central results of the parts I - IV previously published we extend the theory to the case where an involutary…
We formulate part I of a rigorous theory of ground states for classical, finite, Heisenberg spin systems. The main result is that all ground states can be constructed from the eigenvectors of a real, symmetric matrix with entries comprising…
We extend the theory of ground states of classical Heisenberg spin systems previously published to the case where the interaction with an external magnetic field is described by a Zeeman term. The ground state problem for the…
In view of the numerous examples in the literature it is attempted to outline a theory of Heisenberg spin systems possessing dimerized ground states (``DGS systems") which comprises all known examples. Whereas classical DGS systems can be…

We investigate classical Heisenberg models with the translation symmetries of infinite crystals. We prove a spiral theorem, which states that under certain conditions there must exist spiral ground states, and propose a natural…
Exact ground state properties of antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin rings with isotropic next neighbour interaction are presented for various numbers of spin sites and spin quantum numbers. Earlier work by Peierls, Marshall, Lieb, Schultz…
We analyse the low temperature properties of a system of classical Heisenberg spins on a hexagonal lattice with Kitaev couplings. For a lattice of 2N sites with periodic boundary conditions, we show that the ground states form an (N+1)…
We extend the theory of ground states of classical Heisenberg spin systems published previously by a closer investigation of the convex Gram set of $N$ spins. This is relevant for the present purpose since the set of ground states of a…
The Heisenberg model, a quantum mechanical analogue of the Ising model, has a large ground state degeneracy, due to the symmetry generated by the total spin. This symmetry is also responsible for degeneracies in the rest of the spectrum. We…
Generalized Coherent States (GCS) are constructed (and discussed) in order to study quasiclassical behaviour of quantum spin models of the Heisenberg type. Several such models are taken to their semiclassical limits, whose form depends on…
We consider methods to identify the classical ground state for an exchange-coupled Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a non-Bravais lattice with interactions $J_{ij}$ to several neighbor distances. Here we apply this to the unusual "octahedral"…
We investigate classical spin systems in $d\geq 1$ dimensions whose transfer operator commutes with the action of a nonamenable unitary representation of a symmetry group, here ${\rm SO}(1,N)$; these systems may alternatively be interpreted…
We consider some classical and frustrated lattice spin models with global O(3) spin symmetry. There is no general analytical method to find a ground-state if the spin dependence of the Hamiltonian is more than quadratic (i.e. beyond the…
We set up a general structure for the analysis of ``frustration-free ground states'', or ``zero-energy states'', i.e., states minimizing each term in a lattice interaction individually. The nesting of the finite volume ground state spaces…
We perform the symmetry analysis of the properties of the ground state of a finite system of interacting spinless bosons for the three most symmetric boundary conditions (BCs): zero BCs with spherical and circular symmetries, as well as…
The 600-cell is a regular 4-polytope that is a four-dimensional analog of a Platonic solid. Three-dimensional Platonic solids with icosahedral $I_h$-symmetry have been shown to have a discontinuous ground-state magnetization response in an…
We consider in the whole plane the Hamiltonian coupling of semilinear Schroedinger equations which have critical growth in the sense of Moser. We prove that the (nonempty) set S of ground state solutions is compact up to translations.…
Magnetic systems with frustration often have large classical degeneracy. We show that their low-energy physics can be understood as dynamics within the space of classical ground states. We demonstrate this mapping in a family of quantum…
