This was the first proof of spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry in a quantum model at finite temperature. Since then the ideas of DLS have been extended and adapted to a variety of other problems. In this paper I will present an overview of the most important developments in the study of the Heisenberg model and related quantum lattice systems since 1978, including but not restricted to those directly related to the paper by DLS.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-03-08T02:13:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B10", "82B20" ], "keywords": [ "quantum spin systems", "related quantum lattice systems", "spin-s heisenberg antiferromagnet", "d-dimensional hypercubic lattice", "heisenberg model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007stmp.conf...47N" } } }
