Does There Exist a Baym-Kadanoff Construction for the Heisenberg Model? — •Stephan Filor and Thomas Pruschke — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen

A powerful tool for treating fermionic systems in a cluster approximation is the self-energy functional approach developed by Potthoff [1]. Our goal is to generalize this idea to the general (anisotropic) Spin-Heisenberg model.

To that end an analogue of a Baym-Kadanoff construction for the free energy as a functional of dynamical quantities such as green functions respectively self-energies is needed. Due to the structure of the spin operator algebra, which differs essentially from the usual one for fermions or bosons, this is not possible to achieve in a straightforward way.

To solve the problem we resort to the spin diagram technique proposed by Izyumov et. al. [2] which we use to develop a suitable variational approach to a Heisenberg lattice.
