Spectral Gap of the Davies Generator for the Mean-Field Heisenberg Model
The mean-field Heisenberg ferromagnet is a quantum spin model on the complete graph with isotropic spin-1/2 interactions. This non-commuting Hamiltonian is permutation and $\mathsf{SU}(2)$ invariant, and its Gibbs states undergo an $\mathsf{SU}(2)$ symmetry breaking phase transition at inverse temperature $\beta=2$. We...
