Real space renormalization group approach to the 2d antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model
The low energy behaviour of the 2d antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model is studied in the sector with total spins $S=0,1,2$ by means of a renormalization group procedure, which generates a recursion formula for the interaction matrix $Δ_S^{(n+1)}$ of 4 neighbouring "$n$ clusters" of size $2^n\times 2^n$, $n=1,2,3,...$ from the corresponding quantities $Δ_S^{(n)}$. Conservation of total spin $S$ is implemented explicitly and plays an important role. It is shown, how the ground state energies $E_S^{(n+1)}$, $S=0,1,2$ approach each other for increasing $n$, i.e. system size. The most relevant couplings in the interaction matrices are generated by the transitions $ $ between the ground states $|S,m;n+1>$ ($m=-S,...,S$) on an $(n+1)$-cluster of size $2^{n+1}\times 2^{n+1}$, mediated by the staggered spin operator $S_q^*$
