Tóth's phase-transition conjecture for spontaneous magnetization
Tóth's phase-transition conjecture for spontaneous magnetization
Let denote the spontaneous magnetization of the quantum Heisenberg ferromagnet, represented through the interchange process on at inverse temperature . Let be the size of the cycle containing at time , and let be the number of cycles of length . Tóth's conjecture. The function admits a phase transition: there exists some such that
and
This conjecture concerns the existence of an ordered, or high-, phase in the quantum Heisenberg ferromagnet. The existence of that phase remains open; the main unresolved issue is not sharpness or uniqueness of the transition, but whether the high- phase exists at all.
