  12. Non Linear Sigma Model method for  =J2/J1 > 1/2 Haldane mapping 2+1 D Classical model at Teff ≠0 2D Quantum model at T=0 I. The partition function Z is written in a path integral representation on a coherent states basis. II. For each sublattice every spin state is written as the sum of a “Néel” field and the respective fluctuation. ANALITYCAL APPROACH :

  13.  = n · n - + III.In the continuum limit, to second order in space and time derivatives and to lowest order in 1/S, Z results:  = Ising order parameter

  14. static and homogeneous 0 saddle point approximation for large : n = n + n + + + - - - same results of spin wave theory Collinear long range ordered phase checks: classical limit (S →∞ )

  15. Lanczos diagonalizations: On the basis of the symmetries of the effective model, an intermediate phase with <n > = 0 and finite Ising order parameter <> ≠ 0 may exist. + - Analysis of the phase diagram for values of  around 0.6 for a 4X4 and a 6X6 cluster NUMERICAL APPROACH: It can be either a: VB nematic phase, where bonds display orientational ordering VBC ( translational symmetry breaking)

  16. ordered phases and respective degenerate states 4X4 { (0,0)s S=0 (0,0)d S=0 (0,) S=1 (,0) S=1 collinear { (0,0)s S=0 (0,0)d S=0 (0, ) S=0 (,0) S=0 columnar VBC 6X6 { (0,0)s S=0 (0) S=0 (0, ) S=0 (, ) S=0 plaquette VBC 0.60 :(0,0)s and (0,0)d singlets quasi degenerate → Z2 breaking 0.62 :(0, ) S=0 higher than (0, ) S=1 →no columnar VBC () S=0 higher than the others →no plaquette VBC 0.62 triplet states are gapped conclusions: Lowest energy states referenced to the GS
