摘要
We study the Heisenberg antiferromagnet in two dimensions on a triangular lattice. Using the coherent state representation for spin S>> 1 and performing the spatial continuum limit we arrive at the action L of a nonlinear sigma-model. The constituent classical fields of L are a set of three three-dimensional orthogonal unit vectors. The origin of the symmetries of L is uncovered. We investigate this model by a one-loop renormalisation group analysis. In the high temperature limit as well as at zero temperature, the model scales to a fixed point of higher symmetry.
