Heisenberg model (quantum) exhibits quasi-long range order. Heisenberg model (quantum) The Heisenberg model is a statistical mechanical model used in the study of critical points and phase transitions of magnetic systems, in which the spins of the magnetic systems are treated quantum mechanically. In the prototypical Ising model, defined on a "d"-dimensional lattice, at each lattice site, a spin formula_1 represents a microscopic magnetic dipole to which the magnetic moment is either up or down. Except the coupling between magnetic dipole moments, there is also a multipolar version of Heisenberg model called the multipolar exchange interaction. For quantum mechanical reasons (see exchange interaction
Heisenberg group operators on formula_103: for formula_109. So too do the multiplications by characters: for formula_111. These operators do not commute, and instead satisfy multiplication by a fixed unit modulus complex number. So the Heisenberg group formula_113 associated with "K" is a type of central extension of formula_114, via an exact sequence of groups: More general Heisenberg groups are described by 2-cocyles in the cohomology group formula_116. The existence of a duality between formula_117 and formula_101 gives rise to a canonical cocycle, but there are generally others. The Heisenberg group acts irreducibly on formula_103. Indeed, the continuous characters separate points so any
