Schrodinger maps and anti-ferromagnetic chains

We study the problem of restricting Schrödinger maps onto Lagrangian submanifolds. The restriction is imposed by an infinite constraining potential. We show that, in the limit, solutions of the Schrödinger map equations converge to solutions of generalized wave map equations. This result is applied to the anti-ferromagnetic systems where we prove rigorously that the dynamics is governed by wave map equations into [inline-graphic not available: see fulltext].
