A Polymer Expansion for the Random Walk on the Permutation Group Associated to the Quantum Heisenberg Ferromagnet

Abstract

For a long time one has associated to the Quantum Heisenberg Ferromagnet on a lattice, a random walk on the permutation group of the lattice vertices. We here present a polymer expansion for the solution of the heat equation coupled to the random walk. We work on a finite lattice, there is no question of convergence. We leave to future work bounding terms in the expansion necessary to extend the result to an infinite lattice.
