Dispersion Relations of Nambu-Goldstone Modes

Abstract

We study the energy-momentum relations of the Nambu-Goldstone modes in quantum antiferromagnetic Heisenberg models on a hypercubic lattice. This work is a sequel to the previous series about the models. We prove that the Nambu-Goldstone modes show a linear dispersion relation for the small momenta, i.e., the low energies of the Nambu-Goldstone excitations are proportional to the momentum of the spin wave above the infinite-volume ground states with symmetry breaking. Our method relies on the upper bounds for the susceptibilities which are derived from the reflection positivity of the quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets. The method is also applicable to other systems when the corresponding upper bounds for the susceptibilities are justified.
