Absence of high-temperature ballistic transport in the spin-1/2 XXX chain within the grand-canonical ensemble

Whether in the thermodynamic limit, vanishing magnetic field h→0, and nonzero temperature the spin stiffness of the spin-1/2 XXX Heisenberg chain is finite or vanishes within the grand-canonical ensemble remains an unsolved and controversial issue, as different approaches yield contradictory results...
