Abstract
The method of Kennedy, Lieb, and Shastry is applied to the antiferromagnetic model to examine the existence of long-range order (LRO). On the 3D simple-cubic lattice LRO is proved to exist for any and at low temperature. On the 2D square lattice LRO exists in the ground state for any if and for and if . The existence of LRO in the ground state of the model (), therefore, has been confirmed, in agreement with the conjecture by Nishimori et al. The ground state of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model in two dimensions still remains to be clarified.
