Improved lower bound on the thermodynamic pressure of the spin 1/2 Heisenberg ferromagnet

We introduce a new stochastic representation of the partition function of the spin 1/2 Heisenberg ferromagnet. We express some of the relevant thermodynamic quantities in terms of expectations of functionals of so-called random stirrings on ^d . By use of this representation, we improve the lower bound on the pressure given by Conlon and Solovej inLett. Math. Phys. 23, 223–231 (1991).Work supported by the Hungarian National Foundation for Scientific Research, grant No. 1902.
