Random loop representations for quantum spin systems
Abstract
We describe random loop models and their relations to a family of quantum spin systems on finite graphs. The family includes spin 1/2 Heisenberg models with possibly anisotropic spin interactions and certain spin 1 models with SU(2)-invariance. Quantum spin correlations are given by loop correlations. Decay of correlations is proved in 2D-like graphs, and occurrence of macroscopic loops is proved in the cubic lattice in dimensions 3 and higher. As a consequence, a magnetic long-range order is rigorously established for the spin 1 model, thus confirming the presence of a nematic phase.
