The derivation of spin Hamiltonians from ab initio calculations is an important tool for modeling effective precession fields in the dynamics of magnetic materials since a full electronic description of the dynamics is computationally very demanding. In this work, we contrast two different – "local" and "global" – approaches. The global approach aims at describing arbitrary spin configurations, whereas the local approach is only valid for small magnetic fluctuations locally around a given spin configuration. We argue that global symmetry requirements, such as time-reversal symmetry, do not necessarily restrict local spin Hamiltonians if the dependence of the effective exchange parameters on the magnetic state is taken into account. We present a general formalism to map model electronic structure theory to a local spin Hamiltonian and we check our formalism by means of numerical calculations for low-dimensional structures, like dimers and chains [1].
