We study the spin-wave spectrum of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a bipartite lattice. The spin-wave spectrum on a N\'eel-ordered ground state is bounded as $\varepsilon (k) \le c |k| $, where $c$ gives an upper bound for the spin-wave…

The Galactic disc is opaque to radio waves from extragalactic sources with frequencies nu less than ~3 MHz. However, radio waves with kHz, Hz, and even lower frequencies may propagate through the intergalactic medium (IGM). I argue that the…
