Abstract

Spin-wave perturbation theory for the Heisenberg antiferromagnet at zero temperature is used to compute the finite-lattice corrections to the ground state energy, the staggered magnetization and the energy gap. The dispersion relation, the spin-wave velocity and the bulk ground state energy to order O(1/S2) are also computed for the square lattice. The results agree very well with the predictions of Neuberger and Ziman and Fisher.
