Abstract
Spin waves in an isotropic antiferromagnet are described using a decoupling scheme for the Green's functions in the paramagnetic region. The results are interpreted with an ansatz for the scattering function suggested by Halperin and Hohenberg and show overdamping in a hydrodynamic region and damped propagating spin waves in a region of short wavelengths. Expressions for the dynamical susceptibilities and the Néel temperature are derived.
