Abstract
In this paper, we study a generalized anisotropic mixed-spin ferrimagnetic Heisenberg model on an arbitrary bipartite lattice. We prove rigorously that, under some very general conditions, this model has a unique ground state with ${S}_{z}=0$ in the $\mathrm{XY}$ regime and two degenerate ground states with nonzero magnetization in the Ising regime, respectively. Therefore, the isotropic point of this model is a bifurcation point for its ground states. Furthermore, we also show that, if magnetization of the ground states in the Ising regime is a macroscopic quantity in the thermodynamic limit, then these states have both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic long-range order. In other words, they are ferrimagnetically ordered. These conclusions confirm the previous results derived by numerical calculations on small one-dimensional mixed-spin chains.
