  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)
