5 Square lattice antiferromagnet H = ij J ij Si S j Ground state has long-range Néel order Order parameter is a single vector field ϕ = η isi η i = ±1 on two sublattices ϕ = 0 in Néel state.
6 Square lattice antiferromagnet H = ij J ij Si S j + + Add perturbations so ground state no longer has long-range Néel order
7 Square lattice antiferromagnet H = ij J ij Si S j + + Add perturbations so ground state no longer has long-range Néel order Describe the resulting state by an effective theory of fluctuations of the Néel order: R z (x, τ) Néel where R is a SU(2) spin rotation matrix related to the Néel order R z z z z z ; ϕ = z ασ αβ z β Ginzburg-Landau paradigm: Effective action for R z (x, τ), deduced by symmetries, describes quantum transitions and phases near the Néel state.
8 Order parameter description is incomplete Underlying electrons cannot be ignored even though charged excitations are fully gapped. They endow topological defects in the order parameter (hedgehogs, vortices...) with Berry phases: the defects acquire additional degeneracies and transform non-trivially under lattice space group e.g. with non-zero crystal momentum

10 Fermi surface+antiferromagnetism Γ Hole states occupied Electron states occupied + Γ The electron spin polarization obeys S(r, τ) = ϕ (r, τ)e ik r where K is the ordering wavevector.
11 Spin density wave theory In the presence of spin density wave order, ϕ at wavevector K = (π, π), we have an additional term which mixes electron states with momentum separated by K H sdw = ϕ c k,α σ αβ c k+k,β k,α,β where σ are the Pauli matrices. The electron dispersions obtained by diagonalizing H 0 + H sdw for ϕ (0, 0, 1) are E k± = ε k + ε k+k 2 ± εk ε k+k 2 + ϕ 2 This leads to the Fermi surfaces shown in the following slides for half-filling
