Abstract

We prove the existence of spontaneous magnetization at sufficiently low temperature, and hence of a phase transition, in a variety of quantum spin systems in three or more dimensions. The isotropic spin 1/2 x-y model and the Heisenberg antiferromagnet with spin 1, 3/2,...and with nearest neighbor interactions on a simple cubic lattice are included.
