Complex magnetism is known to emerge from competing Heisenberg interactions and higher-order spin interactions [1]. In addition, previously unknown interactions such as the Chiral-Chiral interaction due to topological orbital magnetism turn also out to be essential to explain the magnetic properties [2]. However, a method for uniquely deriving spin Hamiltonians that captures the spin interactions of a given system has not yet been established. In this presentation, we give rigorous spin Hamiltonians for isotropic spin interactions for a given total localized spin S and the number of magnetic sites. The derivation of the spin Hamiltonian is based on the algebraic structure that the spin operators follow for arbitrary spin magnitude. By organizing the algebraic structure obeyed by the general spin operators, we discuss the construction of the exact spin Hamiltonian and the higher-order terms of interactions, especially for the cases S = 1/2 and 1.
