Power-Law Decay Exponents of Nambu-Goldstone Transverse Correlations
Abstract
We study a quantum antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a hypercubic lattice in three or higher dimensions $d\ge 3$. 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 $2-d$ at non-zero low temperatures, while it is equal to $1-d$ 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 $2-d$ at non-zero low temperatures.
