Abstract
The Heisenberg paramagnet in one, two, and three dimensions is analyzed by a second-order Green's function theory similar to that used by Knapp and ter Haar. This theory, which incorporates the exact values for the zero, first, and second moments of the relaxation function as boundary conditions, yields results satisfying the rotational symmetry of the paramagnetic region as well as the principle of detailed balance. We find that our predictions for equal time properties in the classical limit are identical with the RPA Green's function theory of Liu as well as the spherical model results of Lax. The quantum limit is analyzed, and our predictions for the 1/T series coefficients for both internal energy and susceptibility are compared with exact results.
