For a two-species uniform boson number state, set . A single spin ladder operator changes the species occupation numbers, so its expectation value vanishes. At distinct sites, , proving the displayed transverse two-point correlation function. For tending to nonzero constants, this correlation function has a nonzero large-distance limit despite the global U(1) symmetry. This diagnoses long-range order in the auxiliary state; its interpretation as a state of fixed physical spins still requires the Schwinger boson constraint.
