General method for finding ground state manifold of classical Heisenberg   model
  We investigate classical Heisenberg models with the translation symmetries of infinite crystals. We prove a spiral theorem, which states that under certain conditions there must exist spiral ground states, and propose a natural classification of all manageable models based on some "spectral properties," which are directly related to their ground state manifolds. We demonstrate how the ground state manifold can be calculated analytically for all spectra with finite number of minima and some with extensive minima, and algorithmically for the others. We also extend the method to particular anisotropic interactions.
