Abstract
We study the magnon interactions by means of a self-consistent calculation in a frustrated quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet
with first and second neighbor exchange couplings. We have used the Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov scheme at zero temperature. The
effect of frustration on the shape of the spin-wave spectrum is investigated: we find a strong decrease of the spin-wave velocity.
A clear deviation from spin wave theory is found when comparing with finite lattice results.
