Abstract

The spin stiffness ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}$ of a two-dimensional (2D) Heisenberg antiferromagnet depends nonanalytically on external magnetic field. We demonstrate that the hydrodynamic relation between ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{s}$, the uniform susceptibility $\ensuremath{\chi}$, and the spin-wave velocity $c$ is not violated by such a behavior because similar nonanalytic terms from all three quantities mutually cancel out. In this work, explicit expressions for the field-dependent spin stiffness and for the magnon velocity of the 2D square-lattice antiferromagnet are obtained by direct calculation to order $1/S$ and in the whole range of magnetic fields.
