Under the bipartite spin rotation, the staggered magnetization becomes the uniform transformed . In the Bogoliubov transformation vacuum ,
The quantum depletion of Néel order therefore gives, with the zero modes regulated,
Near each zero of , the integrand behaves as , producing a logarithmic divergence. With a finite-size cutoff of order , the depletion grows as . Thus the large- expansion about a state with finite Néel order is not self-consistent in the infinite one-dimensional chain. The divergent expression is not a negative physical magnetization; it signals breakdown of that ordered approximation. It does not determine whether the exact excitation spectrum is gapped.
