\noindent{\bf Titel:} {\it Validity of spin wave theory for the quantum Heisenberg model.}


\noindent{\bf Abstract:}

\noindent We consider the quantum ferromagnetic Heisenberg model in
three dimensions, for all spins $S\geq1/2$. We rigorously prove the
validity of the spin-wave approximation for the excitation spectrum,
at the level of the first non-trivial contribution to the free energy
at low temperatures. The proof combines a bosonic representation of
the model introduced by Holstein \& Primakoff with probabilistic
estimates, localization bounds and functional inequalities. (Joint
work with Michele Correggi and Alessandro Giuliani)
