The discussion focuses on the Hamiltonian of the Ising-Heisenberg model, specifically examining the behavior when the parameter a exceeds 2. It questions whether the model behaves like the Ising model under these conditions, particularly in a 2D lattice where the critical temperature is approximately 2.269. The conversation highlights that both the Ising and Heisenberg models primarily involve nearest-neighbor interactions, but the discussed model allows for long-range interactions, making it distinct. Additionally, it clarifies the fundamental differences between the Ising and Heisenberg models, particularly regarding their treatment of spin and symmetry invariance. Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes the complexity of the Hamiltonian's behavior based on the parameter values.

Hamiltonian
##H=-J\sum_{\vec{n},\vec{m}}(S_{\vec{n}}^xS_{\vec{m}}^x+S_{\vec{n}}^yS_{\vec{m}}^y+aS_{\vec{n}}^zS_{\vec{m}}^z) ##
If ##a>2## is that behaves like Ising model? For example in ##2d## lattice is critical temperature of that system ##T_c \approx 2.269##?

Ising and Heisenberg models only have nearest-neighbor interactions. Your model doesn't restrict long-range interactions and thus the model is quite different.
 
Ok and for nearest neighbours? I thought of that case when I right.

I don't recognize that Hamiltonian- The Heisenberg model of ferromagnetism is H = -2J \sum s_{n}\cdot s_{m}, where the sum is over nearest neighbors. Any Hamiltonian that is invariant under Z_2 has Ising symmetry (the Ising model is equivalent to a Z_2 clock model), but the primary difference between Heisenberg and Ising models is that the Ising model treats spin classically (the spin variables do not obey quantum commutation relations). Both models describe a high-temperature paramagnetic phase and a low-temperature ferromagnetic phase.

Another link is that the classical Heisenberg model is invariant under O_3, while the Ising model is invariant under O_1 (with the caveat that rotations in 1D are not defined).
 
Thread 'What is the pressure of trapped air inside this tube?'
As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air. Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side. Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct? What is the pressure for all points in senario C? (My question is basically coming from watching...
